Paytm
Established in 2010, e-commerce and electronic payment provider Paytm hit the corporate stratosphere in 2015, when it raised $625m in funding from donors including Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, further to a total company valuation of around $1bn. Also in 2015, vice president and company secretary Amit Gupta was appointed and now heads up a dedicated and highly competent legal function well-stocked with legal talent. Alongside Amit Gupta, deputy manager – legal, Raunak Gupta and legal manager Nitin Kathpal stood out as worthy of praise due to their expert handling of the expansion in the company’s role post-2015. The team is fully capable of meeting the company’s intensive growth requirements, which are highlighted by the 2017 launch of Paytm Payments Bank, a technologically advanced banking platform that will allow users access to a digital debit card for use in transactions.
