Abstract: The study attempts to take the readers on a tour of the exciting and inspiring journey of digital payment giant Paytm's founder and CEO, Mr Vijay Shekhar Sharma, that provides insights to budding entrepreneurs about the continued determination to chase dreams with perseverance and commitment. Starting from a mobile recharge company, Paytm has moved on to offering a wide range of e-payment and e-commerce services and finally, reaching the pinnacle of being an independent payment bank. This success story is an outcome of a long time of unceasing and persevering struggles that have been discussed at length in this case. After going through an extensive reading of this case, the readers will be able to learn about the entrepreneurial yearning of the founder along with various footsteps that led to Paytm's growth story. The study will be helpful to budding entrepreneurs, graduates or postgraduates from commerce, management and business fields.
