Ishan Sharma, a 22-year-old BITS dropout from Bengaluru, recently claimed on a podcast with Ashneer Grover, Asish Mohapatra, Sarthak Ahuja, and Sanjeev Bikhchandani that he earned ₹35 lakh last month, which he considers a "small amount" as it limits his ability to do business.
Grover humorously responded, "Tu yahan baithna chahiye, humko puchna chahiye (You should sit at our places, and we should be questioning you)," revealing he earned nothing at 22.
Mohapatra, Ahuja, and Bikhchandani disclosed they earned ₹35,000, ₹5,000, and ₹1,500 respectively at that age. This podcast clip has since gone viral.
