Doglapan

Ashneer Grover built one of India's most talked-about fintech companies and then left it, and Doglapan is his version of how that happened. The memoir runs from a middle-class Delhi upbringing and an IIT education through investment banking and into the founding of BharatPe, without softening the parts about funding rounds, boardroom conflict and very public scrutiny. Business lessons come embedded in anecdote rather than arriving as numbered advice, covering negotiation, hiring, valuation and the temperament that founding a company seems to demand. The bluntness of the telling is a large part of why the book found its audience. Inside the covers: • Memoir by the co-founder of BharatPe • Covers education, banking and the startup years • Candid on funding, boardrooms and public scrutiny • Business lessons drawn from personal episodes For founders, business students and readers following India's startup scene, available at Boipoka.
