Paytm’s one month of success post demonetization in 8 slides

It all started with a controversial ad Paytm put up in newspapers the very next day after Modi’s big announcement of demonetization. The ad featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked him on “taking the boldest decision in the financial history of independent India!”

And while the govt struggled with implementation of the demonetization move, Paytm's logo made it to small tea stalls, parking lots, temples, and even wedding invitations!

Since the demonetization move, Paytm reported over five million transactions every day, biggest growth the company has ever seen.

Paytm saw a 700% hike in its customers and traffic on the portal after the high-value currency notes were abolished.

Huge growth in traffic led to a whopping 100% growth in the money value across Paytm accounts.

Paytm hired 9,000 staff to move on with their payments bank and help achieve cashless India goals

Paytm put in place a toll free number for expanding its availability to users with feature phones.

Taking it a step further, Paytm has now made it possible for consumers and merchants to pay and receive money without an internet connection.
