Paytm is known as the holy grail for UPI payments. The fintech giant started in 2010 and has emerged as a market leader and pioneer of QR code payments. However, after its launch as a payment gateway, it went overboard to explore many other industries. From ticket booking to sound-boxes to trading derivatives, the Paytm voyage knows no bounds when it comes to innovation. Without further ado, let’s look at the gigantic outreach of Paytm that works beyond the UPI.
