BharatPe CEO Apologises for Misleading Social Media Post

Fintech agency Bharatpe CEO Suhail Sameer on Thursday apologised for his remarks in a social media submit allegedly indicating that former firm chief Ashneer Grover has stolen cash from the corporate and little is left to pay the salaries of staff.

A Bharatpe worker in a Linkedin submit had raised the matter of termination of administrative employees and non-payment of salaries, which attracted responses from Grover and CEO Sameer.

In response to a remark by a social media account within the identify of Aashima Grover, Sameer stated  “Behen- tere bhai ne saara paisa chura liya (Sister, your brother has stolen all the money). Very little left to pay salaries”.

The remark was criticised by many on social media.

Sameer later apologised for his remarks.

“Friends – I apologise to have irked many of you. In hindsight, it was out of line. We are already working on past employees’ full and final being paid out. My comment was a reaction to a particular statement, not the post. But I accept the mistake. I request you to also have patience, and refrain from building a story based on a false narrative,” he stated in a submit on Linkedin.

The firm’s affiliate Karan Sarki on Linkedin had raised the problem of the sacking of previous employees and non-payment of salaries.

“We haven’t received our salary for March month yet despite following so many times on email and visiting the office. All the old admin staff of BharatPe has been terminated by you without giving any reason and their salaries have not been paid. We were with BharatPe ever since the Company started and now we are nowhere because of your internal politics,” Sarki stated.

He stated that staff have been spending their very own cash for the corporate’s petty bills and payments haven’t been reimbursed since December.

“All the staff of BharatPe is enjoying office paid trip to Goa and we engraved employees are fighting for their salaries and job. What kind of leaders you are,” Sarki stated.

However, Bharatpe denied the declare on social media concerning the non-payment of salaries to staff.

“BharatPe strongly denies any social media comments which suggest that the company has not paid salaries to its employees. All the employees of the company have been paid their March salary in full. As per the company policy, employees serving their notice period will receive their full and final settlement amount in the due course as per company policy,” the corporate stated in an announcement.

Ashneer Grover replied to the submit and marked it to Sameer and BharatPe’s head of economic management Hersimran Kaur to resolve the wage cost subject.

“Folks please look into this. Not done – their salaries have to be paid first before anything,” Grover stated.

Bharatpe CEO requested Sarki to method him if the settlement just isn’t accomplished by Friday.
