Grover discusses his passion for automobiles in the interview. He also explains why he chooses to acquire used autos.
Ashneer Grover of Shark Tank India has revealed why he buys secondhand automobiles. In a forthright interview, the billionaire admits that he frequently buys used automobiles rather than new models. He claims that if an old automobile is scraped on the road, it hurts less than if a new car is harmed. He says that he is bothered for more than a week if a new car is scuffed while driving.
The original interview has been edited into a short video on careerboardguy’s Instagram profile, where he can be seen talking about his passion for vehicles. Grover also discusses how other large billionaires bought sports/luxury cars after receiving funding for their enterprises.
He tells the story of Zomato creator Deepinder Goyal, who bought a Range Rover after obtaining investment, in the video. Grover also discusses his passion for sports cars and his desire to get one if the opportunity arises.
