The last quarter was the company’s best in two years as it scrambles to onboard merchants and tries to make the most of a year-long regulatory ban
Those were the words of a rival fintech about Phonepe’s barely-year-old payment aggregator. Why has it got some in the industry worried?
To give its digital-only identity a facelift, the payments giant zeroed in on a lucrative offline market. But it’s proving a tougher nut to crack—even if there's a Paytm*-shaped void

Hidden within India’s millions-strong gig economy are the gig entrepreneurs. Young, skilled, tech-savvy, and looking to earn handsomely
