Goal is to become an AI-first company: Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma

The ultimate goal for fintech major Paytm is to become an artificial intelligence (AI)-first company as it integrates the technology in more of its routine workflows, the company’s founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma said on Friday.

Speaking at the Shiprocket Shivir 2025, Sharma said the impact of AI on jobs is inevitable. “Sooner or later we will have to start using AI as an employee or even as a CFO,” he said.
