We have a use case, where the user may select multiple people for multiple documents.
Example:
For “Doc a “ Selected users “user1, group2, user3”
For “Doc b “ Selected users “user1, user4, group6”
For “Doc c” Selected users “group3, user4, user9”
In this scenario the number of Documents may vary and we need to implement this in the User Input task or Form.
Problem : We can’t use multiple people picker in grid. Please let us know if you faced the same problem and work around or solution to this problem....

Sanjeev, grid is not the right data structure representation component for what you are trying to achieve. You are trying to make a row represent multiple rows. Obviously, one option would be to show a comma separated value but what I would recommend is to have a form that allows you to do this for each row in the grid and bring the user back to the main form and show the value in a comma separated fashion. Another advantage of this approach is that you can use paging grids and make the form mobile compatible. I hope this helps.
