Resilient Asset to sell Paytm stake
Analysis based on 8 articles · First reported Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026
The proposed block trade may exert short-term downward pressure on Paytm's share price due to the discounted floor price and potential supply overhang, though the sale is by a founder-owned entity and does not change founder's direct stake. The transaction reinforces Ant Group's gradual exit from Paytm, while Paytm's improving profitability and domestic ownership may support investor sentiment.
On August 17, 2026, Resilient Asset Management, a Netherlands-based entity wholly owned by Paytm founder and CEO Vijay Sharma, proposed to sell up to a 4.98% stake in One97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, through a block market trade. The stake sale is valued at approximately Rs 50.4 billion ($527.71 million) based on Paytm's closing price, with a floor price of Rs 1,535.10 per share, a 2.9% discount to the last close. The economic proceeds from the sale will be retained by Antfin (Netherlands) Holding, a subsidiary of Ant Group, under an existing optionally convertible debenture (OCD) agreement from 2023, under which Resilient acquired a 10.20% stake from Antfin while Antfin retained economic value. The company stated it is not a party to the transaction and there is no change in the founder's direct shareholding. The proposed sale follows Paytm's first full year of profitability in FY26 and continued strong quarterly results, with shares closing at Rs 1,580 on Monday, giving a market capitalization of about $10.6 billion.
