SoftBank fully exits Paytm at higher-than-expected net loss of $264.8 Million

YourStory · 6m

SoftBank Group has finalized its exit from Indian fintech company Paytm by selling its Singapore subsidiary's stake in PayPay Corporation to a SoftBank Vision Fund 2 entity for $279.2 million. This transaction severs all investment ties between SoftBank Group and Paytm. SoftBank had already sold its direct stake in Paytm earlier in 2024, incurring a loss of $544 million. The sale of PayPay stake in Paytm was projected to fetch proceeds of $390-450 million, but the lower sale price results in a final net loss of $264.8 million for SoftBank.
