Paytm plans 10% staff increase in AI pivot, to lay off 400
Fintech pioneer Paytm is set to hire about 4,000 people over the next nine months, part of a pivot aimed at expanding its merchant network and artificial intelligence-driven product offerings.
The increase would mark a roughly 10% increase in its headcount that stands at about 40,000 employees. Paytm is also laying off 1% of its staff, or about 400 people, after the current performance appraisal cycle, a company spokesperson said. The cuts follow more substantial reductions in the previous year.
