He said, "With connectivity with the UPI (Unified Payment Interface)we will become the payment app for every bank account. With UPI support Paytm is staking to become the payment layer on top of bank account out there." Noting that at the time when banks are launching UPI app, there are consumer experience concerns, Sharma said while banks are busy with rupee demonetisation and rupee disbursement process, there is need and demand for "incredibly" built UPI app that can work across all banks.

He said, "Paytm wants to actually become the universal payments app across every bank account that exists there with partnership UPI." Stating that this is the time when a country needs technology companies to rise to the occasion, he called upon the tech startups to make solutions to India's problems today so that they can become world problems solutions company tomorrow. He said, "Yes, we (Paytm) will one day go to the US and I say this very clearly we will do.We will hit them in their own market. That is what the aspiration is."
