“If you buy something at the wrong price, that bad decision haunts you for a very long time. My favorite example is Microsoft. It was a great company in 2000. If you bought it in 2000 for $60 dollars, that’s it.” You have to wait about 16 years just break even till 2016. In that context, if at 20 billion Paytm is saying I am 65% of Axis Bank, 40% of Kotak Bank, 30% of ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank 20%, so I really don’t believe it’s even remotely possible. Let’s look at some quick points here; they want to be this super app, but even after seven, eight years of existence, they There is hardly any break in the brokerage in the banking sector. I agree that payments bank is a limiting factor, but the average balance in a payments bank account is around Rs 500, do whatever you want with it. There is hardly any dent in me.
