Do you guys think the Paytm fiasco will drive away foreign VC’s from investing in Indian fintech and how did Softbank sell its shares right before the mishap? Something’s fishy.

There’s no conspiracy here, Paytm screwed up multiple times despite warnings. You can’t keep flouting the laws and expect no action.

Yep. You can't just toy with the poster boy of Indian fintech and expect steady flow of FDI.

No , they will not , they wanted this to happen. Because now they have the best opportunity to enter Indian market by having paytm shares. That the only reason foreign investors will back Paytm , Paytm problem will be solved one day( it's sure gonna happen ). And when it happens they will again start there business with the support of foreign investors.

Other folks are have already pounced on the opportunity and will acquire a lot of Paytm’s business. One man’s loss is another’s gain. Startups are brutally hard.

There was a blurred line in the relationship of One97 and PPBL. You can’t use the term ‘bank’ that lightly. They were warned and warned enough times.

Absolutely, SoftBank is pulling of money from Indian Startups like Policy bazaar , Delhivery and Zomato etc. This looks bad trend for startups who seeks for funding rounds. There is decline in funding from VC's.🥺

Softbank is in the business of making money. I’m sure they have insider info on the regulations in the sectors they invest. You can’t imagine to what extent big VC’s prepare their plans.

Masa is a cunning man, he must have gotten a tip from an insider and must’ve paid him/her very well.

It was very uninvited and immatured of RBI to take such a drastic step. I used to think that VSS is close to the ruling party so they must be safe from such things but turns out someone else is closer.

Can this Paytm fiasco be a move my Mota bhai (Mukesh Ambani) to acquire Paytm and integrate it into Jio Finance division? Jio had recently hired Zest Money’s original founders to lay foundational work for Jio’s own fintech play.
