<p>According to the Hindustan Times, Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma expressed confidence that his firm would overcome regulatory difficulties in India this year and make a return.</p>
<p>At a financial technology conference in Tokyo, he noted that the most important lesson he had learned was that often, your counsel and colleague may not be getting it right.</p>
<p>“And it is important for you, yourself, to be taking care of it versus just letting a teammate or an adviser suggest what it should be,” Vijay Shekhar Sharma said, according to the story.</p>
<p>He remarked that Asia has a chance to create a financial system for the next generation and expressed optimism for Paytm. Making Paytm a leader in Asia is what he wants to do in this life.</p>
<p>Regarding Paytm’s plan, he said that it would include entering new Asian countries and forming bank alliances for the Indian market.</p>
<p>Uncertainty, according to Vijay Shekhar Sharma, also causes stress. It is the persistence on the mission that you are on when you are clear and aware.</p>
