From the moment you step inside Ashneer Grover’s stately Delhi home, it becomes clear the residence is symptomatic of their taste and ambition.
The former BharatPe co-founder and Shark Tank India personality walked Brut India through his home with wife Madhuri, sharing that while the house was purchased from a builder, “all the interiors, all the furnishings, all the paintings, artwork, that was done by us.” And the artworks truly are conversation-starters. “These paintings have a story,” he explains, referring to stunning visuals created by a US-based South Indian illustrator, later hand-painted on commission by his sister-in-law.
The couple has clearly walked a thoughtful design journey. When asked about her favourite corner, Ashneer’s wife Madhuri gestures to a beautifully curated nook. “Aesthetic wise? Yeah, I like that,” she smiles.
In the living area, the interviewer spots gold-plated coasters, marvelling, “Are these gold-plated coasters?” Madhuri confirms, amused: “Yeah, these are gold plated.”
But what truly drops jaws is the now-iconic dining table. “This table is the most infamous table, right? It’s supposedly worth ₹10 crores,” Ashneer says, deadpan. “Which is news to me, because I thought my house was worth ₹10 crores.” He adds, “We had to get a pulley installed on the roof to bring it in through the balcony.”
Ashneer’s relationship with fame is both tongue-in-cheek and grounded. Next to the bar sits a memento from Shark Tank India. “This is what the Shark Tank team gave to me,” he says, proudly holding it up. “I used to like him as a Shark,” Madhuri adds, “but of course, this version is better.”
Despite the fully stocked bar, Ashneer is quick to clarify: “We both are teetotallers. I don’t drink, Madhuri doesn’t drink.” It’s more for entertaining. “My dad drinks and likes to entertain.”

The home’s sprawling layout even accommodates a 50-metre passage, perfect for pacing or makeshift workouts. “You do 20 rounds, you’ve done one kilometre,” he chuckles.
The family’s relationship with food and fitness has also undergone significant evolution. “Earlier, it used to be filled with chips and namkeens,” Madhuri says about the snack shelf. “Now you’ll find nuts… I’ve lost weight just by giving up sugar.”
In the garage, a different passion emerges: Ashneer’s car collection. From a Porsche painted in a trending green hue (“I think this is the only colour Porsche in Delhi”) to a Maybach and a family SUV, each car has its role. “If I have to drop the kids to a bus stop, I use this car… It’s the only car owned by Ashneer,” he laughs, poking fun at how the others are family-used.
“We bought this house, we made it ours,” Ashneer says, summing up the spirit of the space.
