The payments platform’s second‑quarter earnings surged to ₹225 crore, a tenfold increase, as artificial‑intelligence tools helped lower expenses and UPI transactions continued to grow.
Paytm reported a ten‑fold jump in its second‑quarter profit, posting a net earnings figure of ₹225 crore, driven by AI‑enabled cost reductions and a surge in Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transaction volumes.
AI‑driven efficiency gains
The fintech firm said it integrated generative‑AI tools across its finance, operations and customer‑support functions, cutting overheads and automating routine tasks. These measures helped shrink operating expenses by a double‑digit percentage compared with the same quarter last year.
UPI usage fuels revenue growth
UPI transaction volume continued its upward trajectory, contributing a larger share of Paytm’s merchant‑services revenue. The platform recorded a year‑over‑year increase in transaction count, reinforcing its position in India’s digital payments ecosystem.
Financial highlights
- Net profit: ₹225 crore (up ten‑fold YoY)
- Operating expense reduction: double‑digit percentage decline
- UPI transaction growth: continued double‑digit YoY increase
Analysts note that while the profit surge is notable, Paytm’s long‑term outlook will depend on sustaining AI‑driven efficiencies and expanding its merchant base amid intensifying competition.
