The report claimed that Paytm founder and CEO <keyword id="20004114" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vijay-Shekhar-Sharma" source="keywords">Vijay Shekhar Sharma</keyword> had met <keyword id="19929098" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gautam-Adani" source="keywords">Gautam Adani</keyword> at its Ahmedabad headquarters on Tuesday, May 28, regarding the deal. The report led to immense speculations across the business and political circles as expectations around Adani Group taking on the likes of JioFinance and Google Pay grew ripe. The share price of One97 Communications climbed 5%, hitting the upper circuit. The company’s share price reached INR 359.55. The opposition party Congress’s leader Jairam Ramesh launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister, posting on X "Remember when Paytm was referred to as Pay to Modi? Prophetic words!

We have always made and will continue to make disclosures in compliance with our obligations under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015," One97 Communications said in an official filing. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Adani Group looking to enter the UPI and e-commerce segments" comment="subhead" text="Adani Group looking to enter the UPI and e-commerce segments">Adani Group looking to enter the UPI and e-commerce segments</cmsannotation> Earlier, media reports claimed that the Adani Group is looking to enter the UPI and e-commerce segments in India. According to the reports, the Adani Group is reportedly considering applying for a license to operate on the country’s public digital payments network, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The group is also in talks with banks to offer a co-branded Adani credit card to its customers. The group is also reported to be in negotiations to enter the e-commerce segment through the government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). A deal with Paytm, which has several years of experience in both e-commerce and payments, could have helped the Adani Group establish itself in these segments and take on existing players such as Reliance Industries, Google, PhonePe and more. Paytm has been facing several regulatory challenges in recent years, with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) ordering Paytm Payments Bank Ltd to stop the bulk of its activities earlier this year. The action led to a whopping 50% drop in One97 Communications share price within two weeks in February.

Adani-Paytm Deal: Both One97 Communications and Adani Group deny reports as ‘baseless’ and ‘speculative’

New Delhi, <keyword id="20004114" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-shekhar-sharma" source="keywords">Vijay Shekhar Sharma</keyword>, one of the most recognised faces of India's fintech industry, has seen a fair share of controversies. Sharma launched <keyword id="19898109" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm" source="keywords">Paytm</keyword> - an acronym for 'pay through mobile' - offering mobile recharges. He launched wallet services in 2011 but the big push came with the 2016 demonetisation. He took out front-page ads in top newspapers with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photo, calling demonetisation the "boldest decision in the financial history of independent India". With fewer currency notes in circulation, Paytm was on a roll. Sharma made a splash in 2018 by getting USD 300 million investment in Paytm from <keyword id="19921921" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="warren-buffett" source="keywords">Warren Buffett</keyword>'s Berkshire Hathaway. *Controversies* Paytm was mired in controversies with its Chinese connection following huge investments from Alibaba Group. The Chinese internet firm became the biggest shareholder in Paytm with a 34.7 per cent stake before the company's initial public offer. Alibaba group firm Antfin sold around 5 per cent shares to lower its stake below 25 per cent to comply with regulatory requirements at the time of IPO. To shed its Chinese-owned entity image, Paytm in August 2023 announced that founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma would acquire a 10.3 stake in Antfin through his overseas entity Resilient Asset Management BV which will make him the largest stakeholder in the company with 19.42 per cent stake. In return, Resilient issued a debt instrument --optionally convertible debentures, to Antfin thereby maintaining the economic interest of Alibaba group firm. With this transaction, Antfin's direct stake in Paytm was reduced to 13.5 per cent. Antfin further sold 3.6 per cent in Paytm to bring its shareholding to less than 10 per cent and at present holds 9.89 per cent of the fintech firm. The company's market cap has eroded drastically since the time of its listing. The company's IPO opened on November 8, 2021, in the price band of Rs 2,080-2,150 per share. The Paytm IPO made history with over Rs 18,300 crore share sale 'making it the largest public issue in India's corporate history. But the company's stock made a weak debut in the market on November 18 and hit a lower circuit after recording about 20 per cent decline during trading hours. It finally closed at Rs 1,560, down by about 27 per cent, compared to its issue price of Rs 2,150. Since then, Paytm shares have not been able to cross even half the mark of the issue price. After the <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="keywords">RBI</keyword>'s January 31 move, One97 Communications shares tanked around 40 per cent to close at Rs 487.05 on BSE on Friday. Billionaire businessman <keyword id="19952201" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="warren-buffet" source="keywords">Warren Buffet</keyword>'s Berkshire Hathaway sold its stake in Paytm at a loss of 31 per cent per share in November 2023. Berkshire Hathaway had invested in Paytm for about Rs 1279 per share but sold it for Rs 877.29 apiece. At present, Cayman Island-registered SAIF III Mauritius Company Limited is the single largest direct shareholder in Paytm with a 10.83 stake followed by Sharma's Resilient Asset Management BV with a 10.29 per cent stake. SAIF Partners is led by Chinese-origin entrepreneurs with Andrew Y Yan as its managing partner. *Paytm run-ins with RBI* RBI on June 19, 2018, prohibited Paytm Payments Bank from opening any new account and wallet with effect from June 20, 2018, on account of supervisory concerns, which were lifted by RBI on December 27, 2018, with effect from December 31, 2018. The Office of Banking Ombudsman issued a show-cause notice dated March 6, 2019, for Paytm Payments Bank's failure to monitor a certain account maintained with it which had shown a sudden increase in the velocity of daily transactions involving immediate transfer to other banks. The actions were found to be in the violation of RBI's provisions on KYC. RBI rejected Paytm Payments Services Ltd's (PPSL) application to operate as a payment aggregator on November 25, 2022. The banking regulator asked the firm to re-submit applications within 120 days after it gets government approval on investment made by OCL into PPSL as per FDI guidelines. The regulator asked PPSL to continue operations with the condition that no new merchants should be onboard. After completion of 120 days, RBI again granted PPSL an extension but without removing the bar on new merchant onboarding. RBI issued a show cause notice to PPBL on July 29, 2021 for submitting false information to RBI confirming completion of the transfer of the Bharat Bill Payment Operating Unit ("BBPOU") by OCL to PPBL on August 28, 2017. The actual transfer of the BBPOU business by the Company to PPBL was completed only by March 31, 2021. RBI on October 1, 2021, imposed a penalty amounting to Rs 1 crore on PPBL for a contravention of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007. RBI imposed a penalty of Rs 5.93 crore on PPBL on October 10, 2023, after it found several non-compliances including banks failure to identify beneficial owners in respect of entities on-boarded by it for providing payout services. RBI found that PPBL did not monitor payout transactions and carry out risk profiling of entities availing payout services, breached the regulatory ceiling of end of the day balance in certain customer advance accounts availing payout services. The banking regulator found that PPBL reported a cyber security incident with delay and failed to implement device binding control measures related to 'SMS delivery receipt check'. PPBL video-based customer identification process infrastructure failed to prevent connections from IP addresses outside India.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma: The controversies of the architect of fintech

The company is seeking a valuation of over $20 billion based on the feedback of its initial investors. However, advisors have recommended it to go for a lower valuation. The development was first <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-21/paytm-mulls-scrapping-pre-ipo-sale-plan-on-valuation-differences" data-type="tilCustomLink">reported</a> by Bloomberg. A source aware of the development told Business Insider that Paytm has decided to do away with the pre-IPO round in order to adhere to the timeline it set for itself. Besides this, the company source highlighted that they are not aware of any valuation difference between the investors and Paytm’s management. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg report suggests that Paytm may still go for a pre-IPO sale at a lower valuation. Business Insider India has reached out to Paytm seeking more detail about the report and cancellation of their pre-IPO sale. Previously a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-12/paytm-said-to-consider-270-million-share-sale-in-pre-ipo-round">report</a> had highlighted that Paytm is planning to raise $270 million (₹2,028 crore) from its pre-IPO round. Pre-IPO is an option for companies to raise capital from private investors before the public issues. It’s not a mandatory requirement and companies can choose to opt for it based on their requirements. Paytm is planning to raise <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/paytm-has-filed-for-2-2-billion-ipo/articleshow/84465551.cms">₹16,600 crore ($2.2 billion) </a>through this IPO. Half of this capital would be raised as a fresh issue and the remaining will be a secondary issue, giving partial exits to Paytm’s investors. This will be India’s biggest IPO so far, surpassing Coal India’s, which raised ₹15,000 crore in October 2010. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/sebi-approves-fino-payments-banks-1300-crore-ipo-paytm-next-in-line/articleshow/86755408.cms">yet to approve the IPO</a>. Paytm is one of the biggest digital payments companies in India with offerings across several digital modes of payments like unified payments interface (UPI), credit and debit cards payments. It also offers wealth management solutions through Paytm Money and banking services through Paytm Payments Banks. The company is currently valued at $16 billion, after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/vijay-shekhar-sharma-opens-next-chapter-at-paytm-as-it-raises-1-billion-from-t-rowe-softbank-and-others/articleshow/72217033.cms">raising </a>$1 billion in November 2019 from T Rowe Price, Ant Group and Softbank Vision Fund.

Paytm may skip its pre-IPO sale as advisors reportedly recommend lower valuation

This is 9% lower than the issue price of ₹2,150. And, analysts at Macquarie have warned that the stock may go down a lot more before it becomes attractive. Analysts at Macquarie, a global investment bank, have set the target price for Paytm at ₹1,200, that’s 44% below the price at which IPO investors got their shares. Macquarie cited the high price of the IPO and the intense competition from the likes of Amazon, Google and Flipkart for its pessimism around Paytm. “People ask me how do you raise money at such a high price? I say, I don’t raise money on a price but I raise money on a purpose,” said One97 Communications founder and chief executive (CEO) Vijay Shekhar Sharma in his address before the listing ceremony at the BombayStock Exchange. Paytm's shares were trading at ₹1,673 at 12:22 p.m., a discount of nearly 22%. The closing price for November 18 was ₹1564, which is 27% below the issue price. Paytm is still bigger than Britannia, Bajaj Auto and Zomato The Noida-based Paytm listed at a market cap of ₹1,26,737 crore ($17 billion), which is nearly $3 billion lower than the $19.3 billion-$19.9 billion valuation of the public issue. The fear around the price had set in long before the listing. Paytm’s grey market premium (GMP) — a price at which the share prices are being traded at in the grey market — tumbled down from ₹130 on the first day of bidding on November 8 to a negative ₹30 on Wednesday (November 17). This means that the traders in the grey market are willing to buy the shares at ₹2,130, about ₹20 lower than the issue price. The initial public offering (IPO) by Paytm — owned by Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led One97Communication — is the biggest public issue India has ever witnessed and it surpassed Coal India’s public issue worth ₹15,000 crore executed a decade ago. <div type="twitter" handle="vijayshekhar" handlename="Vijay Shekhar Sharma" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/813598012173754368/MnHjJnCv_normal.jpg" favoritecount="2066" retweetcount="103" status="Man, I can feel for our cricket team!

The remaining ₹10,000 crore was raised as offer for sale (OfS), giving partial exits to Alibaba’s Ant Group, Softbank and others. Experts ask investors to wait it out before investing in Paytm's shares Fresh investors should not invest in Paytm at the moment but wait for another 15 days for the stock to consolidate, Kranthi Bathini, Director - Equity strategy at WealthMills securities, told Business Insider. “Serious investors need to wait for a couple of earning quarters and not jump into stocks like what happened in Nykaa,” he added. Nykaa — which had a stellar debut on the stock market last week — crossed the ₹1 lakh crore market cap on the first day of listing. However, the company’s revenue declined to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/nykaa-will-spend-its-ipo-money-on-setting-up-retail-stores-and-repaying-loans/articleshow/84996894.cms">₹1.2 crore in the July to September quarter,</a> which is significantly lower than ₹27 crore it reported in the same quarter last year. Paytm received bids for 9.11 crore shares versus the 4.83 crore shares up for sale, which means that the issue was oversubscribed by 1.8X. About a third of Paytm’s IPO shares were undersubscribed<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/paytm-ipo-subscription-day-2/articleshow/87608830.cms"> until the second half of the third day of bidding</a>, on November 10. And, the grey market price of the shares kept declining. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"

Paytm's shares fall 27% on the first day of listing and it may fall even further, warn analysts

<keyword id="3519905" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm-ceo" source="Orion">Paytm CEO</keyword> <keyword id="198636" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-shekhar-sharma" source="Orion">Vijay Shekhar Sharma</keyword> has said that macro conditions have affected global fintech companies, including <keyword id="6357120" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm" source="Orion">Paytm</keyword>, but the fintech industry will soon bounce back, driven by payments revenue. Speaking at IAMAI's 'India Digital Summit 2022', Sharma said, "We are a payments company and everyone understands it and payment has a derivative revenue line item in financial services and is driven by credit." "The success of Paytm will depend on what we do with monetisation, led by financial services. Payment is a revenue line item which is growing massively," he emphasised on Wednesday. Sharma said that globally, we probably went in at a time (for the public IPO) when QE, free money and many other parameters brought in a little bit of spookiness into the market, in terms of pricing. "Some South American companies are 70 per cent down. Well, that's not the reason for it completely, that's a macro reason," Sharma said. Globally, fintech players and emerging market players saw weak support from the markets as PayPal, Afterpay, Affirm, Square and many others were down almost 30 per cent on an average. Most recently, Grab, the Singapore-based company, made its market debut and is also a 'super app' saw its share price drop by over 20 per cent on listing day. Paytm made a big bang debut in the stock market. The company's $2.5 billion IPO was not just India's largest but also the largest APAC fintech IPO ever and also the second largest fintech IPO of 2021 globally. Overall, <keyword id="8069901" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm-ipo" source="Orion">Paytm IPO</keyword> is the fourth largest fintech stock debut. "Paytm, which opened at an offer price of Rs 2,150 braved the markets on a tough day and its share price was also impacted. But Paytm came out stronger than how most other fintech companies fared during the same time," said Dr Ravi Singh, Research Head, Share India. Analysts at JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have assigned a 'BUY' rating to the Paytm stock with a target price of Rs Rs 1,630-Rs 1,875. The company during its second quarter earnings results showed how its revenue grew by 64 per cent on a yearly basis to Rs 10.9 billion. During the July-September quarter, Paytm saw its contribution profit grow to Rs 2.6 billion in Q2 FY 2022, year-on-year increase of 592 per cent. The contribution margin jumped to 24.0 per cent of revenue from 5.7 per cent the previous year. "Paytm has grown to be a financial services giant, which brings with it more monetizable opportunities. The share price of the company will correct itself as the company grows as has been seen in the market journey of US tech companies like Facebook and Tesla," said Singh. The company in a recent filing said that its lending business saw 4.4 million loan disbursals through the platform (y-o-y growth of 401 per cent), and value of Rs 21.8 billion (run-rate of $1.2 billion) (y-o-y growth of 365 per cent). The company's GMV for Q3 FY 2022 stood at Rs 2,501 billion ($33.6 billion). "Year-to-date GMV is already higher than all of FY 2021 , led by significant non-UPI GMV growth," said the company in its regulatory filing.

The company plans to raise <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/fino-payments-bank-files-rs-1300-cr-ipo-papers-with-sebi/articleshow/84924587.cms">₹1,300 crore </a>through this public issue. About ₹300 crore will be raised through the fresh issue, while the rest ₹1,000 crore will be through the secondary issue, offering partial exit to existing shareholders. The company had filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) in July 2021. Founded in 2007 as Fino Fintech Foundation Limited, the company rebranded itself to Fino Fintech Private Limited in 2015. The company was granted in-principle approval by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to establish a payments bank the same year. Though, it commenced operations in June 2017. Rishi Gupta is the managing director and chief executive officer of Fino Payments Bank, and was one of the founding members of the Fino Paytech. According to a Zee Business <a href="https://twitter.com/zeebusiness/status/1444944671671611397?s=24">report</a> published earlier today, SEBI was likely to give approval to FIno and One97 Communications, the parent company of digital payments giant Paytm. However, the One97 Communications’ request is still being processed by the market regulator. According to sources, Paytm is likely to get the approval for its IPO this week. The company plans to raise <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/paytm-has-filed-for-2-2-billion-ipo/articleshow/84465551.cms">₹16,600 crore </a>($2.2 billion) through this public issue. About half of it would be a fresh issue. Along with Fino, SEBI has also approved the IPO of Kerala-based vehicle dealer Popular Vehicles, which intends to raise ₹700 crore.

The company intends to raise ₹16,600 crore from this issue. Half of this amount would be raised through fresh issues and the rest will be through sale of secondary shares belonging to Paytm’s stakeholders. The company is planning for a mid-November listing, according to a Moneycontrol <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/paytm-gets-sebis-nod-for-rs-16600-crore-ipo-7600921.html">report</a>. This will be India’s biggest IPO so far, surpassing Coal India’s, which raised ₹15,000 crore in October 2010. Paytm is one of the biggest digital payments companies in India with offerings across several digital modes of payments like unified payments interface (UPI), credit and debit cards payments. It also offers wealth management solutions through Paytm Money and banking services through Paytm Payments Banks.

SEBI approves Paytm’s $2.2 billion IPO, company explores November listing

It has been just over a year since India's mobile payments and Quick Response (QR) pioneer <keyword id="6357120" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="paytm" source="Orion">Paytm</keyword> made its debut on the stock market and the company has made quite an impression. The initial public offering (IPO), which was the largest in the country's history, drew attention from investors far and wide. Paytm's impressive growth has sparked the interest of savvy investors, both retail and institutional, who are clamouring to add more Paytm stock to their portfolios. As the fintech firm continues to make significant strides towards achieving operating profitability, investors' belief in the Paytm story and the company's long-term potential for success has grown stronger than ever. The company's latest shareholding pattern for the quarter that ended December shows that mutual funds increased their stake by 0.47 per cent to 1.73 per cent. Two new mutual funds entered the stock, taking the total mutual fund shareholders in Paytm from 19 to 21 in the December quarter. Meanwhile, more retail investors have also jumped on board, with their shareholding increasing by 3 per cent to 9.7 per cent. Over 70,000 new investors were added during the quarter, bringing the total number of retail shareholders to around 12 lakh. These developments are a clear indication that more Indians believe in Paytm's ability to deliver profitability without compromising on growth. The increase in domestic investors' shareholding is a vote of confidence in the company's future prospects. Global investment firm <keyword id="6361649" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="goldman-sachs" source="Orion">Goldman Sachs</keyword> expects Paytm to be adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) positive by the March quarter, two quarters ahead of the estimates and the company's guidance of September 2023. Goldman Sachs has reiterated its 'Buy' rating for Paytm and has upwardly revised its share price target to Rs 1,120. The firm has stated that the current share price continues to offer a compelling entry point into India's largest and one of the fastest-growing fintech platforms. The increase in shareholding by domestic investors is also a positive sign for the Indian economy, as it shows that more and more Indians are investing in the country's rapidly growing fintech sector. An increase in retail shareholding can bring a number of benefits for a company. One of the most significant benefits is increased liquidity, which can help to stabilise the stock price and improve overall market sentiment. Retail shareholders also tend to have a long-term investment horizon and may be more likely to hold on to their shares, making the company more attractive to investors. The overall <keyword id="44528" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="fdi" source="Orion">FDI</keyword> shareholding in Paytm has declined from 71.49 per cent to 66.12 per cent, mainly because of SoftBank offloading a 4.53 per cent stake. The Japanese conglomerate, through its <keyword id="4031888" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="vision-fund" source="Orion">Vision Fund</keyword>, continues to own 12.92 per cent of Paytm. Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors (FPI) holding in the company has gone up by 0.91 per cent to 6.68 per cent. The number of FPIs holding the Paytm stock has increased from 88 to 128 in the third quarter, representing a net addition of 40 investors. As a pioneer in India's fintech revolution, Paytm has been at the forefront of the country's technology-driven shift towards a cashless economy. The <keyword id="13945656" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="paytm-super-app" source="Orion">Paytm Super App</keyword> has become a household name that is synonymous with convenience and ease of use. Paytm is expected to post another strong quarter when it announces Q3 (third quarter) results. Meanwhile, its Q3 operating performance update shows strong growth in monthly transacting users, loan disbursals and devices deployed. According to data available, eight out of 12 analysts tracking the company have a 'buy' rating. Paytm is also included in Goldman Sachs' Asia (ex-Japan) 'Conviction List' of stocks that have a high potential for returns and are rated as 'buy'.
