This isnโt about drama. Itโs a lesson in what happens when founder-brand outgrows company-brand. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ Ashneer was aggressive, blunt, and unapologetically ambitious. The kind of founder VCs often back early. But when BharatPe scaled, internal governance and external image started to matter more than raw hustle. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ Disputes with the board. Audio leaks. Accusations of misused funds. Public brawls. The founder became bigger than the startupโand that made the brand volatile. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ Investors saw risk. Valuation was tied not just to product, but perception. If a founder creates instability, even if they built the rocketโthey can be replaced. Itโs business, not loyalty. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป Founders are the company in early stages. But at scale, professionalism often matters more than personality. Governance beats gut. Especially in fintech. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ? Yesโif you stop being the asset and start becoming a liability. Even unicorn creators can be shown the door if the board thinks the brandโs at stake. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ Be bold early. But know when to switch gears. Public image, internal ethics, and investor trust scale faster than headcount. ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ง๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ Ashneerโs story is a case study in founder firepowerโand founder fallout. Build fast, but protect your seat at the table.
