Oh please. The comment was less about PayTM and more about tech companies being blasé about data privacy in general.

If I had a friend or family member who was an employee of such a publicly facing tech company, I’d be grilling them about their data security and privacy practices. I’ve been burned enough times by Indian companies so ridiculously free with their data sharing that I’ve stopped giving out my contact info to everything but the most essential of services.

Most Indians will lean towards believing the GP because they know how aggressively their personal data is being abused, unless Paytm comes out with concrete details of how they protect privacy inside and outside the firm.
