Paytm, on Friday, apologized for a controversial social media post made by its CEO, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, about the passing of industrialist Ratan Tata. The post, which has since been removed, faced backlash for being seen as insensitive and inappropriate in tone.

“We deeply regret any hurt caused by a recent post about Mr Ratan Tata. His passing is a great loss for the nation and we are truly saddened,” the digital payments platform said in a post on social media platform X.
