BharatPe's former MD Ashneer Grover, who was recently slapped with a civil suit and criminal charges for cheating and siphoning off funds from the company he co-founded, has advised startup founders not to go by Western concept of arm's length and related party transactions.

"To my mind, the concept of a related party transaction in India is totally irrelevant."
