One 97 Communications, the operator of leading digital-payments platform Paytm, was caught in a complete bear trap on listing day. The stock plunged as much as 27.4 percent to Rs 1,560.80 from its issue price of Rs 2,150. Though Paytm has a strong market share, what triggered the selling was its high valuation, muted investor response and loss-making business, experts say.
