Paytm has launched the MahaKumbh Soundbox, its latest 4G-enabled payment device featuring a digital display and real-time transaction updates for merchants. Designed and manufactured in India, the device supports both audio and visual payment confirmations.
With a built-in screen, the MahaKumbh Soundbox displays incoming payments, daily earnings, transaction count, battery status, and network strength. The 3-watt speaker ensures loud and clear audio alerts, helping merchants confirm payments quickly—especially during peak business hours.
The device is integrated with Paytm’s QR code, allowing customers to pay via any UPI app or use RuPay Credit Cards through UPI. It supports 11 languages, has a battery backup of up to 10 days, and is built to endure tough retail environments with splash and temperature resistance.
Sanjiv Singh, Joint Secretary, DPIIT said, “Startup Mahakumbh has been a landmark event celebrating India’s vibrant entrepreneurial spirit, bringing together visionaries, innovators, and policymakers to drive India’s digital and financial inclusion forward. In this spirit of innovation, Paytm continues to lead the way in transforming digital payments for millions of businesses across the country. The launch of the Paytm MahaKumbh Soundbox is another testament to India’s leadership in fintech innovation—empowering merchants with real-time transaction tracking, seamless payment acceptance, and operational efficiency. I commend Vijay Shekhar Sharma and the Paytm team for their relentless commitment to developing cutting-edge, Made-in-India solutions that strengthen our digital economy and support small businesses nationwide.”
Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said the new Soundbox would give merchants better visibility and control over their transactions. “We are proud to have made mobile payments accessible to everyone. As pioneers of Soundbox technology, we introduced instant payment confirmations, bringing trust and ease to merchants. With our new Made-in-India Display Soundbox, we are taking it a step further to help our merchant partners track transactions effortlessly and manage their business with confidence,” he said.
