Paytm became a nightmare for investors

 

The IPO of Paytm, which has a strong identity as a tech startup in India, turned out to be a nightmare for investors. Investors have suffered losses of up to 60 percent since the issuance of the IPO. Paytm's IPO was the biggest in the country. People invested money by trusting it, but the company could not live up to the trust of the investors. Last month, the company's founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma, 44, said that Paytm would become the first company in India to generate $1 billion in annual revenue. He had said that gradually the company will start moving towards profit. Before the listing of the company, Sharma claimed many times that the company is turning profitable, but his claim has not been true till now.
