Online grocery delivery platform BigBasket too wished Paytm. “Dear @paytm, we wish you a basket full of luck and blessings!"
Paytm replied with a “big thank you!"
As the IPO went live, Kotak Securities posted, “Until now - @Paytm karo. Now - @Paytm ko apply karo."
Earlier in the day, Paytm posted a lighthearted tweet on its handle saying “aaj baad mein Paytm kar dunga thodi na chalega (Promising to Paytm later won't work today)".
