1. Paytm eyes up to $20-billion valuation in biggest Indian IPO

Paytm’s initial public offering (IPO) — billed as the largest ever in India — is set to value the firm at about $19.5-$20 billion when it opens for subscription on November 8.

There is a global macro towards India right now (listed or private). This is the age and time of India. If 2010–2020 was for Asia at large, China and Japan and others, 2021–2030 is 100% for India,” Sharma said. “Whether you’re a private company, young startup or potentially (looking) to list, this is the time the world is going to give you money.”
