Paytm Hiring Amidst Crisis: Top Talent Still Interested

New Delhi, Feb 13 (PTI) Paytm, whose payments bank venture is facing regulatory action, is hiring for various positions across product and business divisions, according to a blog.

The blog posted on Paytm's website said recruitment partners are continuing to see high interest from top talents in the country to join the company.

Page Group, a recruitment partner of Paytm, said the company is currently hiring for product and business positions.

"We have been recruiting high calibre and premium talent for the Paytm business for a while now, and expect the trend to continue. We are actively seeking individuals for product and business positions at Paytm, and there continues to be strong interest from quality candidates for these roles," PageGroup MD Ankit Agarwala said in the blog.

The company is going through a crisis situation due to restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank of India on its associate entity Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL), which houses wallet and UPI services that are provided through the Paytm app.

The central bank, on January 31, directed it to stop accepting deposits or top-ups in any customer accounts, wallets, FASTTags and other instruments after February 29.
