BharatPe co-founder apologises for delayed launch of CrickPe

BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover has apologised for a delayed launch of CrickPe after the sudden death of his father earlier this week. The entrepreneur has apologised to fans for failing to go live on Friday with the launch of the new season of the Indian Premier League.

Grover's new fantasy cricket app, CrickPe, is a fantasy game paid cricketers for performance. Grover assured cricket enthusiasts that his CrickPe will be glitch-free from Monday, even though it will miss the opening weekend of the tournament.

On March 29, Grover announced that his father Ashok Grover died at the age of 69.

The Crickpe app is part of the Third Unicorn that Grover announced last year on the occasion of his 40th birthday. In 2022, Grover started working on CrickPe together with wife Madhuri Jain Grover and Aseem Ghavri, who are also co-founders of the company.

The app description on Google Play reads: Crickpe is the only fantasy game that rewards a percentage of every game pot to real cricketers, based on their actual performance in the match, in proportion to their fantasy points earned. Grover claimed earlier that CrickPe will be the biggest revolution in cricket since IPL.
