In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 23, consolidated revenue from operations climbed by 51.5% to 2,334.5 crore, up from 1,540.9 crore in the previous quarter.

The initial public offering (IPO) price range for Paytm was between 2,080-2,150 rupees. After then, the price of the stock dropped by seventy percent, resulting in significant financial losses for those investors who had purchased it.
