Paytm's Ad Revenue Dips 11% to Rs 228 Cr Despite UPI GMV Surge

  • Paytm's marketing services revenue declined 11% year-on-year to Rs 228 crore in the December quarter.
  • The company attributed the revenue dip to changes in promotional content serving and a focus on targeted customer cohorts.
  • Paytm reported a consolidated profit of Rs 225 crore, a 971% QoQ increase, driven by tighter cost controls.
  • Total expenses decreased 2% year-on-year, with employee benefit expenses seeing a 4.6% reduction.
  • UPI Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) grew 35% over nine months, significantly outperforming the industry's 16% growth.

Why It Matters: Paytm's ad revenue fell due to strategic changes, but overall profit surged from cost controls and UPI growth.
