Indian Payments King Paytm to acquire PayWush.com?
The acquisition can help Patym, the Indian e-commerce payment system to further enhancing its user and merchant interfaces.
New Delhi, India- January 20th, 2020: The digital payments company Paytm is in talks to acquire the online payments provider PayWush according to an undisclosed source.
PayWush.com has shown some interest in the acquisition plans but nothing much is officially heard till now, said two people aware of the matter. If the transaction goes through it will be one of the largest acquisition by the Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led company. “The Paytm board is in the process of finalising the contours of the deal,” said one among them who said on the condition of being anonymous due to obvious reasons.
“There is still a chance that the deal may fall through as the board deliberates on the pros and cons of the transaction,” the person added. However, there has been no official confirmation from any of these companies, and our calls to both of them went unanswered.
PayWush.com has already received investments from different sources and it has plans to expand its operations as well. PayWush has seen 40 to 50% revenue growth in the last year. The company is expected to cross 300,000 transactions per week and users are becoming more reliant on the platform.
The acquisitions seem to be in line with Paytm’s strategy of becoming the biggest digital wallet. Paytm is planning to leverage PayWush’s expertise in catering intuitive user interface to its customers.
