Revenue & Sales Performance
- Paytm expects growth acceleration from current ~24-25% to around 30%+ in medium term driven by expansion in postpaid, merchant payments, and equity brokerage.

- Online merchant onboarding is resuming post-regulatory pause since 2022, representing a high-MDR, high-margin opportunity likely to add sustainably to revenue.
- AI-driven products (e.g., AI-powered Soundbox agents) are anticipated to become significant new revenue lines over the next year.
- Strategic investments in merchant lending, personal loans (with headwinds acknowledged), and non-lending financial services (Wealth, gold) will contribute growth.
