The controversy surrounding one of Ashneer Grover's tweets, a former co-founder of BharatPe, has resurfaced. Ashneer Grover has set his sights on the social media platform; WhatsApp this time. In terms of tech products, he claimed that WhatsApp Pay is among the least successful in India. In his opinion, WhatsApp by now should have overtaken PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm. Paytm's CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma responded to Ashneer Grover's tweet after he used the company's name.
According to a tweet from Ashneer Grover, everyone has WhatsApp on their phones. Sending money via WhatsApp using UPI is as simple as sending a photo. It ought to have left GooglePay, PhonePe, and Paytm behind. He said that country managers cannot win the market for you in an insulting manner.
