In this GITEX-special episode recorded on the sidelines of the Expand North Star expo, Suvo Sarkar talks to Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the founder of PayTM, the leading payments app in India that powers over 20 million merchants and businesses and is used by more than 300 million Indians.
Will super-apps like PayTM take over the world? Why are fintechs the “best friend” for banks? What’s the next big thing for the fintech industry in India? How should founders identify a business opportunity? And what should investors look for in start-ups?
In a free-wheeling conversation with Suvo, Vijay talks about financial inclusion of half a billion Indians, the balancing act between innovators and regulators and his dream of forming a Sanskrit rock band one day.
