Paytm’s journey and its business model have made it to Harvard Business School as a case study. Yes, Paytm has been included as a case study by the India Research Center of the Harvard Business School.

The study will focus on Paytm’s journey from being an online recharges platform to now India’s largest mobile payments platform.
