Paytm to become an AI-first company: Founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma

Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma said the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs is inevitable as it has to be incorporated into routine workflows. “Sooner or later we will have to start using AI as an employee or even as a CFO,” he said.

Sharma said that as most jobs done by humans will be done by AI, the focus should be on building core products. He added that the goal for Paytm is to go beyond a fintech and become an AI-first company.
