opportunity for Vijay Sharma. Paytm was then aggressively promoted to help the citizens to
deal with cash crunch in the economy. Now Paytm has spread its presence all over the country
and is an accepted mode of payment from tea stalls to huge supermarkets. The brand Paytm
started with online recharge services and has set its own marketplace in the recent years.
“Looking forward to a cashless India, Vijay’s dream is to bring half a billion Indians to the
mainstream economy. His dream is to build India’s first $100 Bn firm,a company that would make
the nation proud.”
(Paytm Blog, 2018)

shares to Alibaba for $575 million.

5. After Alibaba financially backed the company, it expanded and led the market with a market
share of 68% while its rivals having small amount of market share (Bhattacharyya, 2018).
The Government decision of Demonitisation enabled the company to expand and capture the
market share by showcasing how Paytm will help its users during the cash crunch. The
company promoted its services and offerings aggressively in the market leading to capturing
the market share and leading the E-wallet industry. This move completely pole axed India’s
cash transaction economy and forced people and small merchants to adopt alternatives. The
Paytm wallet was the simplest answer and people flocked it. The number of mobile wallet users
has drastically grown since then (Hetavkar, 2018).

6. SWOT ANALYSIS
(Bhasin, 2018)

7. Critical Evaluation of Marketing Strategies adopted by Paytm
Paytm follows the undifferentiated targeting since the beginning. The target the entire audience
irrespective of income, gender, age or status. By following this strategy, the company was able
to capture the E-wallet market of India. With the recent decision of demonetization taken by
the government of India, Paytm served as an alternative for hard cash and helped the citizen to
get away with the phase of demonetization.

Price
Hard to believe, but Paytm provides free service to its customers, as it serves as a medium to
make payments to avail other services or to purchase other products. The company was founded
due to huge amount of investments it received by various companies. The company received
an investment of $575 million from the leading E-commerce giant Alibaba and many others.
The company is able to give huge discounts and offers on its services due to the huge
investments. They also give discount on their E-commerce portal, to keep their customers on
board. This provides an over view of its pricing strategy. Paytm has various other competitors
in the industry, but no other E-wallet company has been able to capture a market share
equivalent to or higher than Paytm. Paytm charges a minimum transaction fee on transfer of
money to the bank account. They have their earnings from the transactional fee and commission

in Canada. This shows the extensiveness of the reach of its service and its wide acceptance
among buyers and sellers.
Promotion:
Paytm has captured the E-wallet market with its aggressive promotional activities. The
company has promoted its services by launching ad campaigns and showcasing them on
different platforms such as Billboards, Newspapers, TV Commercials etc. The company was
able to create itself as a household name with campaigns having catchy phrases such as “Paytm
Karo”. Besides the campaigns, the company has involved itself in sponsoring events and
competitions, which has further helped in enhancing its brand recognition. Paytm has partnered
itself with the Indian cricket league, which helped in its publicity. The vendors of several stores

company.

entering the mobile number or by scanning the QR code.”
Physical Evidence
“Paytm presence and awareness among merchants and customers are a solid proof of their
physical evidence. The presence of paytm app on millions of smartphones and wide
acceptability of the service in the
market is the most rock-solid proof
of physical evidence. Besides
Paytm’s wide acceptance, the
brand makes its presence felt in the
market by aggressive television
commercials, placing hoardings
and thorough the placards that hang
on numerous shops which accept
Paytm as a mode of payment”.

convenient way for daily transactions. Paytm advertised on various platforms inorder to reach
its target audience. Besides advertising on television and social media, the company used
Twitter as a platform to market its services aggressively, by using “#paytmkaro”, which was
ranked as one of the most used hashtags on Twitter (Viswavarapu, 2018).
The advertisement was created by one of the marketing giant McCann, Paytm has come up
with several advertisements that emphasize upon the features the application provides and how
it allows its users to transfer money on a click.

almost all platforms such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook (The Economic Times, 2018).

motivating its customers to adopt Paytm as a mode of payment for purchases, electricity
payments etc. Paytm’s Cross Promotional Strategy enabled the company to successfully

12. Paytm’s App Malfunctions
Due to millions of transactions happening in a short
span of time, the application faced sudden time out for
a few users.
The company found a bug in the Apple users’
application, i.e. in the iOs version of the application,
due to which some people were unable to make
transactions thereby leading to the system being logged
out.
The company ensured no sudden time outs take place
in future by updating the app on iOs.
The company also ensures that the users data and
money is secure and safe.

company in terms of operations, as their model aims towards becoming technology assistants
for offline retailers and provide them with the required marketing needs and the know-how to
fight against the large monolithic E-commerce retailers. The company has forged partnership
with several brands. The task looks steep as Paytm Mall is up against rivals sitting
on a cash war-chest (Choudhury, 2018).”

incumbents Flipkart and Amazon India have taken over bulk of online sales due to their first
movers’ advantage.”

retailers and where e-commerce firms reap their highest monthly sales, Paytm Mall is banking
on categories such as electronics, fashion and daily essentials to drive up sales. Flipkart recently
raised a mammoth $2.5 billion round from Softbank Corp., while Amazon Inc. has committed
to spend $5 billion on India operations, one-third of which has already been invested (Malik,
2018).”
