History
Paytm was founded on August 2010 with an initial investment of US$2 million by founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma in Noida, India. It started off as a prepaid mobile and DTH recharge platform, and has expanded to a leading digital payments and financial services company , with a diverse range of offerings spanning from partner-based lending to offline devices.[17]
In 2014, the company had launched the Paytm Wallet that stirred the digital payments revolution in the country. Paytm launched BHIM UPI and also became India's first payment app to cross over 10 crore app downloads in 2017. In 2018, the company launched the ‘Paytm for Business’ app for merchants, allowing them to accept money through Paytm Wallet, UPI and card payments directly into their bank accounts at 0% charge.[18][19][20][21]
Paytm started distributing lending products on its platform in partnership with marquee lenders in 2018, starting off with Paytm Postpaid (Buy now pay later) and later expanding to instant personal loans and merchant/business loans . In March 2019, the firm launched a subscription based loyalty program called Paytm First , and later that year, it partnered with Citibank to launch Paytm First credit card [22][23][24][25][26][27]
In July 2021, Paytm’s parent company One97 Communications filed a draft red herring prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to launch its initial public offering (IPO). It launched its IPO in November 2021, raising ₹18,300 crore (US$2.5 billion) at a valuation of close to US$19 billion. At that time, it was the largest ever IPO in India.

In February 2017, Paytm launched its Paytm Mall app, which allows consumers to shop from 1.4 lakh registered sellers.[84] Paytm Mall is a B2C model inspired by China's largest B2C retail platform TMall. Sellers have to pass through Paytm-certified warehouses and channels to ensure consumer trust. Paytm Mall has set up 17 fulfilment centres across India and partnered with more than 40 couriers.

Controversies
California-based PayPal filed a case against Paytm in the Indian trademark office for using a logo with a similar colour combination to its own on 18 November 2016.[87]
In May 2018, the Indian investigative news agency Cobrapost released a video of an undercover reporter meeting with Paytm's vice president, Ajay Shekhar Sharma who is the brother of Vijay Shekhar Sharma.[88][89] During the meeting, he reportedly said the company had provided the Indian Government with the personal data of Paytm users in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, violating user's privacy and policies.[90][91] Later, BuzzFeed reported that, Sharma has close ties with India's ruling party Bhartiya Janata Party.[92] Meanwhile, in response, the company tweeted that, it had never shared user's data with third parties, denied the contents in the video, and stated that it had never received requests from law enforcement on Twitter.[93][94] Paytm also stated that any person claiming otherwise "is not aware of the policy and is not authorised to speak on behalf of the company".[95][96]
On 18 September 2020, the firm's official app was briefly unlisted from the Google Play Store allegedly due to violations of the Play Store's gambling policy.[97][98] The company claimed that Google did not offer any prior warning or give the company an opportunity to explain its views on the contentious 'cashback' offers while claiming that Google's own payments app Google Pay offered similar 'cashback' offers and suffered no repercussions.[99][100]
In March 2022, It was found by Reserve Bank of India's annual inspection that Paytm app is leaking information of its Indian customers to China based entities by transmitting information to China based servers. It is breach of RBI guidelines which says the payment apps have to store customer data only in India based servers.[101]
Charity
During the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Paytm contributed ₹10 to every single user who pays to the PM CARES fund via their app; within ten days they had collected ₹100 crores in their app. Their 1,200 employees contributed 15 days or even a few months of their salaries to the fund.[102]
