Those who trust such statements 🤡

Akash Banerjee linked his CNBC interview during their IPO (2y ago). VSS talked very arrogant, annoyed and rude to the CNBC anchor, who was frankly asking a reasonable set of questions. The way VSS loses his cool and demeaned him, imagine him in office with hisown employees during meetings.
I am very wary of smooth talkers but rough breed like VSS and Bhavesh, they can be a different level of aggressive rude liars.
In 2024, everyone wants to be like Trump

I've heard him being a borderline psych with his direct reports. Which then flows down to their reportees and so on. Culture is pure toxic inside the firm. I'm happy seeing this. Hopefully this event changes a bit of how they treat us, the employees.

To All the founders who are making generic comments how Indians love seeing people fail - no we just love being right. This was eventually going to happen some day.

To people who call founders names : understand that we are all born out of the same culture of jugaad. We appreciate jugaad as employees, VCs and founders. We have glorified it so much that people doing their work properly are thought of as slow buffoons.
The founders who are reacting with terms like scarcity mindset know that there is a problem with jugaad like byju and Paytm methods to scale their business models, but that is what the money and people in Indian startup ecosystem want and support. They are not just irritated with the fact that hard work is all being generalized with PayTM but also with the fact that they were advised and funded only to take the jugaad way out and now that is being labelled as wrong and crime.

Call him whatever you want, but he is way better than most of other Indian origin CEO’s. Mistakes happen, but at least he is bold enough to take full accountability and take steps to rectify it. No matter what the current situation is, Paytm has to be one of India’s biggest tech first company. It is a household name now. This too shall pass for Paytm.
And mocking Paytm does no good to anyone. :)


Ghanta. He will layoff in the name of performance if not this compliance issue.
And tell me, what is PPBL gonna do with the same workforce but reduced business after 29th Feb? Same for wallets team at Paytm

Investor ka danda anne do, ye kya iske papa bhi karenge layoff. In most places it is like that now a days. If your CEO says there will be no layoffs they either have a time machine to see the future or they are liar.

out of many other perks,
Paytm issued fastag to bike/scooty numbers also 😅 lack of sanity checks I guess.

i'm still surprised that market still cannot stand to paytm as an reliable alternative.. i use az pay a lot but still paytm is something which was very easy to transact with.. but

He has to say this. And it has to be a complete lie.
Personal experience- I worked in a company called Clevertap and they laid off around 20% of the statt. But on inc42 the CEO gave statement that they don't beleive in layoff. I know similar stories with many startups whose layoff don't make it to news.
CEOs in India have got no spine to be honest.


Layoff at Paytm
Is there any one from Paytm , who can confirm if there’s a silent layoff happening there. I have an offer as SSE , but have heard from multiple people that work culture is detoriating very fast and almost 20% are undergoing PIP.

Paytm layoffs
Heard that on 29 may, list of laid off employee will be released... is that true? I have no strong source to confirm this tho

Death of paytm
Just went through RBI's note and developments as per major news houses, so Paytm would no longer be an app which used to be in almost every indian's phone march onwards. such a downfall of a firm who enjoyed their best time post covid.
