He said he was sorry for the statement that he made on the show and wrote an open letter:
My Dear CAs,
My Choice of words and the way
it came out was wrong. My intent was not what came out n the show. It was a light-hearted comment made in jest, that has been taken completely out of context.
I love and have the utmost respect for ca’s. My co-founder and sister is a CA. Sheis the backbone of Lenskart. My father is a CA. My first investor who has backed me till date and who I value the most is a CA. My company CFO, who’s been with us for over 5 years is a CA. And Idepend on allof them to run Lenskart.
Without CAs people like me, can’t even run one day, I want you to know. And neither can any business. And I mean it.
So plz maaf kardo,dil par mat lo, entrepreneurship ko promote kara,show ke mazelo 🙂
Once again.Sorry,dilse. Stay Safe.
Best,
Peyush Bansal
Learning to be a Shark;)
