Paytm turns to AI overhaul after first profitable year to fuel FY27 momentum and automate everything

It says it will rent a data centre instead

After posting its first full year of profitability in FY26, Paytm is shifting focus to an AI-led makeover aimed at driving FY27 momentum. Management says it will cap new investments to AI, avoid building its own data centre by renting capacity instead, and automate services across consumers and merchants using applied models and agentic interfaces. The call also sidestepped PPBL fallout while upbeat growth tailwinds lifted shares.
