Ashneer Grover, former co-founder and managing director of BhartPe, on April 4 slammed Union minister Piyush Goyal and the government for “chiding today’s job creators”.

The former Shark Tank judge said politicians in India are the only ones who need a “reality check”, not others.

“The only people in India who need a ‘reality check’ are it’s politicians. Everyone else is living in the absolute reality of India,” he said in a post on X.

Grover pointed out that China also began its tech revolution with food delivery firms.

“China also had food delivery first and then evolved to deep tech. It’s great to aspire for what they’ve done – maybe time for politicians to aspire for 10%+ economic growth rate for 20 years flat before chiding today’s job creators.”
