Paytm
Paytm's expansion into Paytm Mall (e-commerce), entertainment ticketing, and various commerce verticals during the 2016-2019 period spread organizational focus and capital across businesses that generated limited competitive differentiation and were eventually deprioritized or sold. These expansions consumed investment that could have been directed toward financial services infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and product quality improvements in the core payments and lending distribution businesses where Paytm had genuine competitive advantages.
