Book Summary –

Doglapan is a brutally candid memoir by Ashneer Grover, former co-founder and managing director of BharatPe, offering an unfiltered look into his personal journey and entrepreneurial life. Born with the tag of a “refugee” in Delhi's Malviya Nagar, Grover overcame these early challenges to study at IIT Delhi and later MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, launching a career in investment banking before playing pivotal roles in building two unicorns—Grofers (as CFO) and BharatPe (as co-founder).

The memoir dives deep into both his rise and the controversies that followed his stint on Shark Tank India, where he became a household name. Grover addresses media scrutiny, boardroom battles, and his exit from BharatPe—framing it all through the lens of "doglapan," a Hindi term for hypocrisy—both in success and failure.

Far from a motivational self-help read (Grover himself dismissed that categorization), Doglapan aims to provide “absolute clarity” by recounting what he considers the real story behind his successes and setbacks, in raw, no-holds-barred terms.

Reviewers find it strikingly honest, gritty, and entertaining—while some praise its candid entrepreneurial insights, others call it self-justifying or polarizing. The writing style polarizes just as much as its content.

About the Author – 

Ashneer Grover is an Indian entrepreneur who co-founded BharatPe, a leading fintech unicorn, and previously held the position of CFO at Grofers. After stints in investment banking at Kotak and American Express, he gained widespread public attention as a judge on Shark Tank India.

His memoir is an effort to reclaim his narrative amidst legal and media controversies that followed his departure from BharatPe. Grover portrays himself as a truth-teller willing to confront the hypocrisy and challenges of India's startup ecosystem head-on
