Well, he did forecasted that many companies are going to get bankrupt.😂

[@rajatkhanna2553]

This aged really well. 😢

[@manishshukla1992]

Being entrepreneur, I believe the fundamental duty of an entrepreneur is Survival, rest everything comes and goes along. Enjoyed the duo conversation

[@devdutta8405]

Bottom line is, Paytm fooled retail investors by selling them stock at Rs. 2150. Everything else is fluff.

[@skulchand2177]

He had obligation to his previous big investors who wanted to recoup their money with returns

Amazing, the words coming out of an entrepreneur who has gone through it, felt it again again and again, ab kuch bhi hoga dheklengei feeling ke sath, just amazing!

[@zigyashukunal]

Thankyou for uploading this episode, I was waiting for this interview of Vijay 🙌

[@nikhilbahetiofficial]

These insights and words from Vijay sir would have saved so many more startups if it'd have come 1 year earlier..

[@IndianNawabs]

Legend!!! Vijay Shekhar Sharma, big time fan!

[@harshsrivastava7261]

the man is truely believe in india and himself and his confidence on another level # master sharma

[@AnkurRaina]

Wonderful insights

[@amitranjan7111]

Mr. Sharma is the legend, I always admire him. Hopefully in the coming day we will meet him for something that would be going to impact India. :)

[@mefisto05s.20]

They are both legends actually

[@buildingbc]

Nice

[@SINHA7AMIT]

Vijay Sharma says Maning Companies going Bankrupt....never knew he was talking about PayTm

[@himanshuutube]

I dont understand why he is saying 1000 crore profits when paytm is still loss making.

[@fawa.z]

Yea, I just checked listening to this, it’s narrowed it losses , but it’s still in loss. Baffled

[@KiranDevi-gc7jn]

Baffled too

[@ninjalife]

It makes cash profits and free cash flow. What you may be looking at is balance sheet where ESOP charges are added at very high cost

[@ankk98]

Vijay & shraddha are inspiring

[@ritikvishnoi252]

Brilliant interview! Your Story never disappoints❤

[@shanatmg8582]

Loved it 👏🏻

[@vinaybarpande3355]

Love you Vijay … truly genuine and honest as a person

[@thinkwithsourav]

Thanks to yourstory team and Shraddha for bringing Vijay. His words are full of wisdom, coming from years of experience.

[@agradeepchakraborty9223]

Brilliant interview!! So many insights from Vijay..thanks Shardha for this!

[@ManojSharma-qt1cq]

Very Nice...Staying in the Country & Trying to Serve and Better the Country 🙏

[@AIgen-ct3hz]

And the country is taking revenge on him, typical Indian story.

[@solutionmafia8788]

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway exits Paytm.🤣This gives hint.

[@waseemahmad4595]

You are awesome ❤❤

[@akashbaruah8147]

And once when you start generating enough free cash flow why will one go for an expensive mode of funding? Companies will start using debt to grow like Reliance, Tata, Adani and so on

[@gobaraGanesh]

Good

[@adig478]

I need this guy in Nikhil Kamath podcast.. his magic will only work.

[@geg375]

I remember Subash chandra giving such standups..... Hope sharma ji doesnt end up in the same situation

[@SrinivasKompella]

VSS is not admitting that the valuation was so high only to appease his Chinese investors and in the process put money of fellow Indians at stake.

[@utkarshsinha696]

Hey genius, the market is up 22% and Paytm is down by 60.5% … which macro event are you talking about? 9:40

[@utkarshsinha696]

abv figs are since Nov 18,2021.

[@raghureddy3237]

madar chod ko koi samaj hi nahi hai reality ka, apne masthi mei logon ka paise loot ke enjoi kar raha hai

[@jitukhatrik]

I believe in you Mr. Sharma. Paytm will become profitable and people will make money from Paytm share

[@akashkalra5148]

You’re only saying this cause you invested in the IPO 😅

[@ExoticPain96]

On what basis will they make money

[@yogeshkatariya3066]

Wow. Such content is free on youtube.

[@HMaheshwa]

Stuff, legends are made of.

[@deepakparsani8654]

Because of Lose Making Startup, New Idea will not get funding & Old are enjoying, making new loss daily..

[@himanshu_rattan_111]

I am hugely inspired by Vijay sir and just love his presence as well as his charm. An amazing Entrepreneur as well as an amazing personality too.

[@jAyAntswAmi]

Same for Pakistan too. Surviving on Foreign Money.

[@matrixanu]

Your video editor needs to increase the Sound volume of the video, its too low according to youtube standards....

[@vaishakh3]

Sharmas advice applies to CRED and Kunal Shah who has become fat by eating VC money

[@manavshah3732]

this guy sooo fun and legendary😂

[@PHOENIXGAMING4HD]

wat a legend he is fr

[@subhrajitmohapatra2080]

Unless n until businesses doesn't focus on profit, rather than running after valuation, businesses won't survive

[@softwarerunning1399]

Kya yourstory bh unicorn bn gyi hai? ❤

[@sasankabordoloi5027]

why is RBI putting a ban on Paytm Payments Bank, and most importantly what is Paytm/VSS doing to compensate the retail investors in India who lost money in Paytm so far?

[@skulchand2177]

Forex violation

[@anilsamal84]

future reality that is already discussed for last 15 years. its all geopolitics

[@taaha2299]

Today it is Paytm, exposed and scam reveled

[@prasadjoshi007]

Big Buisness dont become big easily you have to chunk on details and impacting factors.

[@beindian4508]

2150 Rs Paytm issue price... Down 27% on first day Ye scam nahi tu kya hai... Startup = Scammer 😅

[@tadepalliprasad]

How much is Chinese investment?

[@Yami_Taksh]

Who is here after paytm rbi debacle??

[@taaha2299]

Waiting for a story from your side after a month, what is your take on Paytm, Raga rightly said 5 years ago payto Modi.

[@trynaru]

Ek white collar scam hua hai Paytm me. Shares list hue 2150 pe.. listing se girne shuru hue and nahi ruke.. Vijay Shankar ji sold it at 2150 and reacquired stake at dirt cheap price. SEBI should have stepped in to say promoter can only buy at listing price if secondary market it trading lower.. Investors ki maar Li ache se..

[@raks2728]

Market makes out over confidence of management in few days..paytm is live example set by market 😂 1/5 rahe gaya

[@zentiasas]

I have literally tears in my eyes, Shraddha after hearing him. I am also in the phase of exploring different problem statements to start my work on. These advices came at the right time. Thank you so much for bringing him on stage.

[@mohneeshgarg8706]

On your last line, Why did you now stop the loans worth less than 50000 which constitute 75% of your total loan book

[@Addlife2days]

Every organisation needs different skills at different stages of its life. PayTM needs new leader. Vijay must go. He is too much into micro management. Strategy should be followed by organisation structure. He is failing in both cases.

[@bhikariman-sigmamale]

Paytm IPO price 2150 some months later they did buyback 700. Nice work fooling retail players🌚

[@akashbaruah8147]

Metrics have not changed, this is the only metric, operational cash generation or surplus operational cash, which has mattered since the first business was started by a human being

[@bhavesh4321]

586 Negative Cashflow for Paytm :-(

[@karthikvijay]

I little disagree with his statement on about your story acknowledges the entrepreneurs pain. No they don't. They acknowledges the entrepreneurs success. And then only write about it And when you become successful everyone acknowledge you.

[@abhishekchatterjee6162]

Mr. Vijay is solely responsible for the Paytm IPO blunder

[@harshtomar4319]

He didn't say anything about Paytm

[@nirsin]

Paytm downfall started when modiji saw this thumbnail....

[@Moneymavenpraveen]

Chote aadmi ko chota loan chaiye, but paytm ne chota loan ( less than 50k) dena band kardiya or share 20% down. 😑 Kehna kya chahte ho bhai.

[@gauravdudeja7162]

right

[@himanshu_rattan_111]

Bcz under 50k, you don't need to provide any collateral. That's why there is a huge risk to give credit

[@amansingh-os9gd]

Sabse zada defaulter 50k mai

[@Moneymavenpraveen]

@@himanshu_rattan_111 bhai baaki saara bhi bina collateral ke hi deta hai, unsecured hai.

[@Moneymavenpraveen]

@@amansingh-os9gd yes you are right lekin yha video me ye bat kyu bol rha hai fir.

I am disappointed with Paytm's customer service. My experience included a lack of response to my ticket and its closure without communication. Additionally, the employee's conduct was unprofessional. I would appreciate a resolution to the issue I raised. junk worst company !!!!!!!

False heroes false questions

[@adig478]

What I felt was, he was not genuine as always.. was saying Paytm is making money but won't tell us what diversification they were doing at Paytm..just keep saying generic statements. Keep giving info on other startups, Indonesia and others.

[@ninjalife]

😂

[@DisciplinedTrader27]

[@AmirNasir]

Fake and false heros. ❌ These scammers and their followers will never know what it takes to become Tata or Ambani in India.

[@ankurbhatia7898]

oh come on Sir, even now you are blaming the IPO pricing debacle to Marco and US markets. So many companies have given 10x from those lows. Paytm could not because paytm never made profits till now. Yes, macros can effect short term valuation but agar company me damm ho toh it gets back to its real value sooner or later. You are simply trying to fool people here.

[@yuvi098]

paytm is loss making how can you say 1000 cr profit

[@raghureddy3237]

bastard should be put in jail, he is just cheating people by putting random numbers
