Taking to his official X handle, Ashneer Grover wrote his thoughts on the Budget 2024-2025. He slammed the budget and said that instead of watching it, watching another Ambani wedding function would have been better.
His tweet reads, “Budget 2024 - ‘Boring, Lifeless and Meaningless’. Instead of delivering this budget they could’ve just said - “Iss baar man sa nahi kar raha - agli baar dekh lenge agar kuchh karna hai toh”. Actually watching yet another Ambani wedding function over this - would’ve been more value and better use of time.”

Further, he also shared another aspect that is a relief for the start-ups in the country. “ICYMI, the much-dreaded ‘Angel Tax’ finally abolished. Startups be like. Hopefully, this is a 1st step in many that not only levels the playing field for 🇮🇳 but tilts it in our favour, so we can build truly global companies from Day 1,” wrote Mittal.
