Paytm to hire 20,000 sales executives, plans to bring the biggest ever IPO worth 16,600 crore

In a bid to educate consumers on the technicalities of digital adoption, Paytm is planning to get 20,000 field sales executives on board. Digital adoption refers to making merchants (specifically new users) capable of employing digital tools such as digital wallets so that they become entirely competent and self-sufficient in regularly using such tools.

Therefore, the main role of the sales executives will be to make merchants aware of Paytm's various digital products and administrations and how they can use these services to their benefit. 

India's largest multinational e-commerce and digital payments company is eyeing to expand its total workforce strength and bring an IPO of INR 16,600 crore before this year's Diwali which is speculated to be the greatest initial public offering ever. 

The organization is making numerous preparations to bring in the IPO, and as a first step, it is contemplating a hiring spree. Paytm has executed its Field Sales Executive (FSE) program to generate employment opportunities for understudies.

Salary insights:
