Doglapan/दोगलापन: Zindagi Aur Startups Ka Khara Sach/ज़िंदगी और स्टार्ट-अप्स का खरा सच

Ashneer Grover's 'Doglapan' serves as an enthralling memoir that narrates the remarkable odyssey of a refugee's offspring from Delhi, morphing into a distinguished entity within the dynamic Indian startup landscape. This Hindi prose piece delivers a candid and unvarnished exploration of Grover's existence, tracing his academic prowess at institutions like IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, all the way to his instrumental contributions in the emergence of two celebrated unicorn enterprises. As the original CFO of Grofers and a co-architect of BharatPe, Grover’s tale encapsulates relentless ambition, rigorous toil, and the stark realities inherent to the startup sphere. The narrative not only sheds light on his ascent to notoriety as a judge on ‘Shark Tank India,’ but it also navigates the waves of controversy and public scrutiny that shadowed his achievements. 'Doglapan' weaves a fascinating narrative that intricately intertwines truth with embellishment, granting readers a distinct lens through which to view the victories and challenges that characterize entrepreneurship in contemporary India.
