Paytm’s Sharma goes from ‘ineligible’ bachelor to billionaire – Reuters India
NEW DELHI, Nov 18 (Reuters) - At 27, Vijay Shekhar Sharma was making 10,000 rupees ($134.30) a month, a modest salary that did not help his marriage prospects.
"In 2004-05, my father asked me to shut my company and take up a job even if it was for 30,000 rupees," Sharma, who went on to found digital payments firm Paytm in 2010, told Reuters.
At the time, the trained engineer sold mobile content via a small company.
