> winning so far

Given PayTM’s losses[1,2], I find “winning” an odd choice of words.

The reality is that digital payments in India experienced an artificial “bump” following India’s ill-thought demonetisation experiment, which has evaporated since. And what growth there is, is on vendor-neutral UPI (which Facebook, Google, Jio et al can all use) rather than proprietary e-wallets like PayTM.
