Founder-led Indian stocks to watch: Paytm, Marico and Lenskart, with market caps up to $13B

Three founder-led Indian stocks stand out as central banks hold interest rates steady, according to a Simply Wall St screen. With capital no longer getting cheaper, owner leadership may matter more. One97 Communications, which runs Paytm, has a market cap of ₹1.03t and ₹89,670 million in data processing revenue. Founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma still steers its push into financial services; only about 7% of device merchants currently borrow. Marico, with a market cap of ₹992.1b, earned ₹143,470 million from consumer products, ₹108,680 million of it in India. Premium products made up 23% of India revenues in FY26, and the target is about one third by FY30. Lenskart Solutions has a market cap of ₹1.09t and ₹96,337.6 million in revenue. Its June 2026 quarter earnings were ₹2,218.4 million, a 6.8% net margin.

Paytm Q1 revenue jumps 28% to $254M as UPI transactions surge 45% on AI redesign

Paytm reported that its UPI transaction value jumped 45% in Q1, driven by AI enhancements and app redesign. CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said the company is prioritising user experience and retention over pushing individual financial products. Operating revenue rose 28% to 24.5 billion rupees ($254 million). EBITDA climbed 182% to 2 billion rupees ($21 million), whilst profit after tax increased 79% to 2.2 billion rupees ($22.8 million). Paytm's consumer UPI growth was approximately 2.2 times the broader market rate. UPI payments have operated under a zero-merchant discount rate regime since 2020, limiting direct merchant fees for payment apps. The government is considering introducing MDR for large merchants at 5-7 basis points.
