[Jobs Roundup] Work with fintech unicorn Paytm with these openings

Gone are the days when long queues to withdraw or deposit money at traditional banks were the only way to go. Digital payments have penetrated the Indian society – even in your neighbourhood kirana store. And with the coronavirus pandemic making the world stop, it is only intelligent to transact digitally. 

Indian fintech unicorn Paytm is one of the leaders in this space. Launched in August 2010, Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma started it with an initial investment of $2 million.

Its initial services included making prepaid mobile recharges, and recharging DTH. At present, Paytm has forayed into several verticals including travel, ecommerce, groceries, and medicines, among others. As of November 2019, Paytm raised its valuation to $1 billion, after raising an additional $1 billion funding from SoftBank, and others.
