CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Smartphone has become essential part of daily life. Due to technology, Digital wallets
are quickly becoming mainstream mode of online payment and mobile users can
nowadays use their smartphones to make money transaction or payment by using
applications installed in the phone. One such application is Paytm.

A digital wallet refers to an electronic device or online service that allows an


individual to make electronic transactions. This can include purchasing items on- line
with a computer or using a smartphone to purchase something at a store. An
individual's bank account can also be linked to the digital wallet. They might also have
their driver's license, health card, loyalty card(s) and other ID documents stored on the
phone. The credentials can be passed to a merchant's terminal wirelessly via near
field communication (NFC). Increasingly, digital wallets are being made not just for
basic financial transactions but to also authenticate the holder's credentials. For
example, a digital wallet could verify the age of the buyer to the store while purchasing
alcohol. The system has already gained popularity in Japan, where digital wallets are
known as "wallet mobiles". A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital wallet where private
keys are stored for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin

A digital wallet has both a software and information component. The software
provides security and encryption for the personal information and for the actual
transaction. Typically, digital wallets are stored on the client side and are easily self-
maintained and fully compatible with most e-commerce Web sites. A server-side
digital wallet, also known as a thin wallet, is one that an organization creates for and
about you and maintains on its servers. Server-side digital wallets are gaining
popularity among major retailers due to the security, efficiency, and added utility it

provides to the end-user, which increases their satisfaction of their overall purchase.
The information component is basically a database of user-input information. This
information consists of your shipping address, billing address, payment methods
(including credit card numbers, expiry dates, and security numbers), and other
information.

Digital wallets are composed of both digital wallet devices and digital wallet systems.
There are dedicated digital wallet devices such as the biometric wallet by Dunhill, a
physical device that holds cash and cards along with a Bluetooth mobile
connection. Presently there are further explorations for smartphones with NFC
capabilities. The NFC technology enables the individual to use services like Apple Pay
(on Apple devices), Samsung Pay (on Samsung Devices) and other similar services.

Digital wallets are being used more and more in Asian countries as well. One in five
consumers in Asia are now using a digital wallet, representing twofold increase from
two years ago. A recent survey by MasterCard's mobile shopping survey shows on
8500 adults aged 18–64 across 14 markets showed, 45% users in China, 36.7% users in
India and 23.3% users in Singapore are the biggest adopters of digital wallet. The
survey was conducted on between October and December 2015. Also analysis showed
(48.5%) consumers in these regions made purchase using smartphones. Indian
consumers are leading the way with 76.4% using a smartphone to make purchase
which is a drastic increase of 29.3% from previous year. This has made companies like
Reliance and Amazon India to come out with its own digital wallet. Flipkart has
already introduced its own digital wallet.

AUTHOR NAME: Adams, John

YEAR OF PUBLISH: 2012

The article discusses the outlook for electronic wallet payment systems from the perspective
that the U.S. banking industry has to attract users in the mobile wallet market and understand
the mobile wallet market's ecosystem. Bell, Stephanie (2011) the article presents information
about a deal between Littlewoods Europe company and Optimal Payments PLC for Optimal's
Neteller electronic wallet and discusses how the virtual payment method works for online
shopping. Quittner, Jeremy (2012) the article focuses on a security problem in Google Inc.'s

1.4 PROJECT METHODOLOGY

Page | 8
Project is a process through which we attempt to achieve systematically and with the support

of data the answer to a question, the resolution of a problem, or a greater understanding of a

phenomenon. This process is frequently called project methodology.

Descriptive project is used in this project report in order to analyze the usage of Paytm by

users. This is the most popular type of project technique, generally used in survey project

design and most useful in describing the characteristics of consumer behavior. The method

used is

 Questionnaire method

The aim of this project paper is to analyze the usage of Paytm by users. In order to reach the

aim, a structured questionnaire was sent to 60 smart phone users who use Paytm for online

payment. The respondents were categorized on the basis of, age, Frequency of usage, Purpose

of usage and average monthly spending on Paytm. Out of 60 people only 49 responded to the

questionnaire. This project used descriptive method in order to get the statistic result from

respondents.

TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION

 Primary Data: - The sources of Primary data were questionnaires and personal
interviews.

 Secondary data: - the sources of secondary data were internet, books and newspaper
articles.

STATISTICAL TOOLS USED

 Tables

 Pie Charts

 Bar Diagrams

Page | 9
 Column Charts

1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

 Many people still don’t know the paytm which creates a problem while collecting
primary data.
 The study was confined to some areas of Kolkata only. The behavior of clients may
not same in all over India
 A sample size of mere people isn’t sufficient enough to get
accurate and fair results

2.1CONCEPTUALFRAMEWORK
Paytm a digital payment platform was launched in 2010 by One97 communication. It allows

to transfer money into its integrated wallet by debit card, credit card and net banking. This

wallet can be further used to make payments for recharge, bill payments and shopping

(Unicorn 2016). In the last 6 years, it has evolved over and has become the first choice of the

users among all the existing payment platforms in India. It started by allowing the recharges

for mobile phones, but soon it started providing payment options for other utilities such as

metro card, Direct To Home (DTH), data cards, electricity and water bills, flight and bus

tickets. Additionally, it gives advantage of buying goods from its e-retail platform. After

capturing the e-commerce market it has also jumped into M-commerce too which allow small

business owners to list their products on its website.

BUSINESS MODEL OF PAYTM


Paytm Business Model is a marketplace model which also deals in recharge & bill payments

and provide users with an e-wallet and banking option.Paytm Revenue Model can be divided

into following categories.

1. Marketplace (Paytm Mall)

2. Recharge Services

3. Bill Payments

4. Payment Solutions

5. Paytm Wallet

6. Digital Gold

7. Paytm Bank

2.2 NATIONAL SCENARIOS

Page | 11
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, and it is home to over 1.3
billion people. The country recorded strong GDP growth of 6.5% in 2017, despite some
headwinds from GST. India's digital payment industry showed promise and registered
double digit value growth during 2013-17. India's middle class continues to grow and
International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s GDP growth forecast for FY-2019 is much better at
7.4%, this will improve business sentiments and benefit different industries .including E-
Wallets and other E-Commerce companies.

According to India Mobile Wallet Market Size & Analysis, Forecast & Opportunities,
2018-2023, mobile wallet market registered whopping double digit value growth, with
a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 67.10% during review period of 2013-
17 despite headwinds like mandatory KYC. The market advanced on the back of rising
digital awareness, increasing smartphone ownership coupled with surging internet
penetration, and convenience associated with such services.

The market is forecast to gain immensely during forecast period of 2018-23 to reach
around USD 7 Billion by 2023, on account of Government's increased focus to make
India a cashless and digital economy. This will help the industry and directly benefit
companies like Paytm, Mobikwik, FreeCharge, Oxigen and many others.

As far as competitive landscape is concerned, Paytm continues to dominate the market


by significant margin followed by tens of players. India mobile wallet has seen
growing investment from companies like Google and WhatsApp, who have announced
significant investments in the country. Digital payment awareness is anticipated to
continue through 2023 and onwards and mobile wallet penetration is likely to go up
even in Tier II and Tier III cities through 2023.

2.3 INTERNATIONAL SCENARIOS

It is undeniable that cryptocurrencies are slowly becoming a vital part of the world’s
conventional economy. Throughout the world, consumers are showing increased
Page | 12
interest in digital currencies. The number of blockchain wallet users has been growing
rapidly. North America and Europe provide an estimated 81% of wallets we have
today. However, only 61% of wallet users are located in these two regions. With over
100 million users, the USA is leading the adoption of digital wallets. Similarly, many
Europeans are swapping conventional banking and payment methods for more
sophisticated digital wallets. The most widely used wallets in the USA include: the
Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Venmo, and Massbook. Digital wallets are evidently
gaining traction and shaking up conventional banking by allowing transfers of money
between different parties at much faster speeds, which are often cheaper and
sometimes free of charge as well, not to mention being extremely convenient and
flexible. In 2016, digital wallet transactions were valued at $594 billion and are
expected to reach $3.1 trillion by 2022.

Michelle Hutchison, a money expert, says “Traditionally, banks have charged high
fees for transferring money from your bank account to other people. But payment apps
allow you to sidestep those fees by removing the bank as the middleman. For instance,
major banks may charge up to
$10 in next-day transfer fees, compared to digital provider Venmo, which offers one-
day transfers without incurring transaction fees.”

Millennials are leading the quest for digital wallets. At 64%, they pretty much appear
to be spearheading the adoption of digital wallets. The digital paper trail is enhancing
the payment experience, making it even easier for friends to contribute for drinks at a
café, for example, or other payments. Among the millennials, the leading users of
these wallets are the more educated lot that boasts high incomes.

COMPANY PROFILE
AND
DATA ANALYSIS AND

FINDINGS

Page | 14
3.1 COMPANY PROFILE
Paytm is nothing but an acronym for ‘Pay through Mobile’. It is India's largest mobile

payments and commerce platform. Founded in 2010 by Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Paytm started

as a prepaid mobile recharge website. It is the consumer brand of India's leading mobile

internet company One97 Communications. One97's investors include Soft Bank, SAIF

Partners, Alibaba Group, Ant Financial (Alipay) and Mediatek. Currently Paytm’s business is

not only limited to recharge but has expanded as online payment platform including mobile

recharges, utility bill payment, wallet payment and wallet to wallet and wallet to bank

transfers for many leading internet based companies like Bookmyshow, Makemytrip,

FoodPanda, IRCTC and many others.

The company employs over 13,000 employees as of January 2017 and has 3 million offline

merchants across India. It also operates the Paytm payment gateway and the Paytm Wallet. A

whole lot of products can be bought from Paytm in categories including electronics, home

appliances, mobile phones, clothing with good cashback scheme for users. Booking bikes,

cars, digital gold have been added recently in 2017.

Paytm’s business has rocketed over the past year, primarily thanks to the impact of

demonetization, which saw 500 INR and 1,000 INR notes recalled and spurred digital

payments in India. The policy helped the number of Paytm wallets jump from 135 million in

August 2016 to 177 million by the end of December 2016, while offline transactions went

from being 15 percent of its volumes to 65 percent. Post demonetization, Paytm wallet grew

at a fast pace and today has around 280 million users from 110-120 million a year ago.

CHAPTER-4

CONCLUSION

AND

RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 CONCLUSION

The Paytm app certainly lives up to its website standards. Paytm supports their customers to

transfer their payments with the usage of their mobile phones in the easiest way. It is a good

app to download due to its wide network of partners which makes it convenient whether

you're taking a cab ride with Uber, or ordering a meal via Foodpanda.

While the app itself, with a clean and easy to use UI, is nice, it would certainly have been

better had there been more recharges available to the user.Another weak link is the

inadequate redressal mechanism. Given the tedious process and poor grievance redressal,

people will have no easy recourse if they lose money online. There is no stringent legal

process to deal with this kind or scale of fraud. Add to it the mass identity theft from banks’

or companies’ databases and it can turn into a financial nightmare akin to the data bases and

it can turn into a financial nightmare akin to the data breach in the Indian banking system in

October this year.

Page | 34
Paytm saves customer’s time on going to separate websites for separate payments. Most

importantly, it's very easy to use. In a nutshell, it is one useful app that can really come in

“handy for customers” and is definitely worth a try. Paytm for Android is available for free

on Google Play store.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

Paytm has to work upon the Payment gateway to improve the transaction efficiency as 51%

people faced problem with payment gateway. Only 5% people claim to have got assistance

every time they had a failure so the service could be improved to cater the needs of maximum

customers. Paytm is currently performing well in terms of privacy but it has to work upon

discounts/offers, transaction time and bring about innovation to increase customer

satisfaction.
