Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Paytm, has highlighted the benefits of disciplined digital savings through his impressive returns from gold investments on the Paytm platform.
In a recent post on X, Sharma disclosed that his gold investments had surged by 124.42%, illustrating the potential long-term value of gold and the advantages of digital saving. According to a screenshot he shared, Sharma initially invested ₹6,84,177 in Paytm Gold, which has since appreciated to ₹15,35,451. His total holdings amount to 116.28 grams, representing a gain of ₹8,51,274.
“Happy Dhanteras to you! I save in gold on Paytm, you could too. Get your free gold locker today,” Sharma stated, urging Indian citizens to embrace smart saving habits using technology. Paytm Gold allows users to purchase 24K pure gold starting at just Re 1, with secure storage in insured lockers. The platform has now processed over 14 crore successful gold orders, making it a leading choice for digital gold savings in India.
In addition to facilitating gold purchases, Paytm has integrated gold savings into everyday financial transactions. The company offers Gold Coins for daily payments, which can be converted into actual digital gold within the app, promoting a seamless approach for users to accumulate savings through regular spending.
Sharma’s message during Dhanteras serves as both a personal endorsement and a reflection of Paytm’s objective to strengthen financial literacy and access in India. “I save in gold on Paytm, you could too,” he reiterated.
Moreover, Paytm is advancing its technological offerings with its latest innovation, the Paytm AI Soundbox. The fintech company, based in Noida, is in the midst of a comprehensive restructuring plan intended to streamline its various financial and technological subsidiaries. On October 17, Sharma presented the Made-in-India Paytm AI Soundbox to Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a post on X, Sharma expressed his honor in presenting the innovation, insisting that Paytm aims to enhance artificial intelligence for small shopkeepers across India. He described the Paytm AI Soundbox as a significant advancement towards making technology and AI accessible to millions of small and micro enterprises.
