“Paytm want to put 10 per cent of shares on the sale, which would be around $3 billion.“So, the company will evaluate if it has to make a secondary transaction and will offer it a pro-rata basis to each of its investors. It is working out the form, but in the last 5 years, none of its ‘major’ shareholders have intented to exit the company,” one person directly aware of the plan said.
