"Commenting on the "lavish lifestyle" that he and his wife Madhuri Jain Grover has been accused of leading on the company's money, Ashneer Grover said, "I indeed have a very lavish lifestyle.

"And this is when I am on the road in US and UK raising $370M Series E. And I've the right to stay in any lavish hotel and charge it on the company issued credit card in my pocket. Those who haven't built from scratch will never understand the Founder's mentality," he added.
