The IPO, which is set to be a record tech listing for the country, would value Paytm at $25 billion, according to Reuters.<blockquote>根据周五提交的文件，数字支付公司Paytm计划在孟买的首次公开募股中筹集高达1660亿卢比（22亿美元）的资金。据路透社报道，此次IPO将成为该国创纪录的科技上市，Paytm的估值将达到250亿美元。</blockquote> The news comes just two days after food delivery giant Zomato began raising $1.3 billion from its share sale in Mumbai, my CNN Business colleague Diksha Madhok reports.
