We then started to build our financial services stack, we have insurance and hope to do lending, we are doing good in mutual funds and we hope to do stock brokerage soon which we will be launching in the next few weeks,” Sharma said.

Sharma said the stock broking offering will come under the Paytm Wealth feature.
