	245	+All analysts had given a thumbs up to the IPO given the expected strong growth in mobile payments, and substantial growth in user base and gross merchandise value (GMV) since its inception within the Fintech sector.

	248	+"At the upper end of the price band, Paytm is valued at 49.7x its FY21 revenues. While valuations may appear to be expensive, Paytm has become synonymous with digital payments through mobile and is the market leader in the mobile payment space. Patym is well positioned to benefit from the exponential 5x growth in mobile payments between FY2021 – FY2026 and hence believe that the valuations are justified. We recommend investors to subscribe to the issue," says Angel One.

	251	+Canara Bank Securities also recommended a subscription for long term to the issue. "The company exhibits substantial growth in user base and GMV since its inception within the Fintech sector. Moreover, the business is scalable due to the high convenience of digital banking. However, the issue is available at P/B (price-to-book value) of 49.74x for FY21 which is expensive," it reasoned.

	260	+Competition and regulation will drive down unit economics and/or growth prospects in the medium term and unless PayTM lends, it can’t make significant money by merely being a distributor, said research house.

	263	+The key game changer could be an ability to monetise UPI, which could completely swing the investment case, it added.
