Vijay Shekhar Sharma blamed the bad timing for the hot response to Paytm’s first public offering and a faint mention last year, amid rising prices from the company he built almost two decades ago.

One97 Communications Ltd., the parent company of Fintech Pioneer of India, entered the stock market at a time when the market feared various factors and this affected prices, said Sharma Sequoia Capital CEO Rajan Anandan of IAMAI’s India Digital Summit 2022 on Wednesday. This is one of the first public appearances Sharma has made since Paytm’s devastating market debut in November last year.

“Paytm’s success will depend on what we do with the monetization that is driven by financial services. Payment is something that further increases the yield threshold,” he said at the event. “We talked about $ 100 million in payment revenue this quarter as a huge revenue … People underestimated the size of payment revenue.” He also added that Paytm recorded higher revenues at lower costs.

“People underestimate the growing impact of this platform on the customer base … We’ve spent and less than every year since … Our business has never looked better,” he said. and Sharma.

Brokerage company Macquarie lowered One97 Communications’ target price from Rs 1,200 per share to Rs 900 per share on Monday. This is 58% lower compared to the Paytm issue price of Rs 2,150.

“Credit is the most expensive financial service. Bajaj Finance has existed for 30-32 years, Paytm has been processing more loans than Bajaj now, in less than three years …,” Sharma said. “Because in our credit business we have to compare with only one person, and that is Bajaj (Finance). We (Paytm) have to look for the benchmark we provide in terms of total loan amount, loan amount and loan quality.

“The problem with our companies is the companies that provide loans – banks and the NBFC. The bad metric they get is the size of the debt. The better metrics they will strive for is loan quality, ”he said.

India’s digital payments giant Paytm is set for another bout of scrutiny on Saturday when it reports earnings in the wake of its record-breaking initial public offering and tumultuous stock market debut.

Ahead of the results, Paytm’s shares dropped as much as 7.7% in early Mumbai trading on Friday. While the stock had jumped about 32% over the last three days, it is still well below the price set in the $2.5 billion IPO as investors continue to weigh its longer-term prospects.

“Revenues for Paytm have remained more or less flat despite a rise in customer base for the last couple of years,” said Ruchit Jain, head of research at listed discount broker 5paisa.com. “While it has reduced losses, none of the business segments, like payments, consumer loans or insurance distribution, are showing signs of profitability.”

There will be focus on which segments are starting to make more money and how the company is leveraging its customer base to cross-sell more products, Jain said.

Despite the challenges, Paytm’s backers include the likes of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank Group Corp. BlackRock Inc. and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board were among so-called anchor investors in the IPO that bought more shares on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.
