Paytm is doubling down on efforts to hire from smaller towns: Vijay Shekhar Sharma

Paytm has doubled down on its efforts to hire staff from smaller towns and allow them to continue working from those locations even after the pandemic situation eases, founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma said.

“We figured out that we could now recruit from cities where we were previously not going and people don’t have to move to the big cities,” Sharma said during ClearTax e-Invoicing Leadership Conclave on Wednesday. “We are doubling down on that… (People) can now work from wherever they are — Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Orissa… Our plan (is) that we will recruit in small cities and not ask them to join (offices) in the big cities.”
