The company has a strong topline growth of 89 per cent on a YoY basis in 3Q (11% of ahead of GSe) that will help allay investor concerns around declining payments.

In addition, Paytm continues to gain market share across both UPI & non-UPI segments which is a positive sign.

Bank of Baroda: Buy| Target Rs 130
