Paytm Board Proposes Revising Vijay Shekhar Sharma's Salary
One 97 Communications Ltd, the parent of Paytm, plans to revise founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s compensation after benchmarking showed his pay has been materially below comparable roles. His base pay stayed unchanged since August 19, 2022, despite his MD/CEO reappointment. The board appointed an independent global HR consulting firm in June 2026 to benchmark fixed, variable pay and ESOPs.
