'Paytm is Indian' trends as netizens back fintech firm

New Delhi: Netizens including top venture capitalists came together in support of India's financial services company Paytm after trolls attacked it for having investments from a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. 'Paytm is Indian' was one of the top trends on Twitter and Google on Tuesday. The Noida, Uttar Pradesh headquartered company has been the target of trolls ever since the tensions in Galwan valley led to the unfortunate death of Indian soldiers and the ensuing tensions with China. After India issued direction to block 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok and WeChat, trolls on Tuesday started demanding the banning of Paytm in India. Trolls started questioning why the government did not ban Paytm which has Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Alibaba, as an investor in the firm. (IANS)
