How big is engineering and product team at PhonePe, Paytm, GPay

While I 100% agree that a PM at a company like Juspay that sells technical products needs to have good technical proficiency to the extent of understanding code as well, why are there no EMs? In a company that's as engineering driven as Juspay, it is all the more important to have EMs who bring in valuable 8+ years of industry experience and have the know how of guiding engineers on building reliable scalable systems and logic. I learnt that Juspay expects PMs to do it all. Questions to Juspay PMs : Do you conduct sprint planning meetings? Are you responsible for the Engg team's performance metrics like sprint deliverance ratio, production issues caused, bugs raised, etc. ? What's the importance and significance given to hardcore product work like doing quality product discoveries ? Do you do code reviews? Are you responsible for Engg downtimes? Given that you are donning multiple hats and doing more than one person's work, what's your WLB like? A good way to measure this is how much time do you get to pursue your personal hobbies, say like hitting the gym, on a daily basis ?

Let’s create a list of best startups in terms of tech and its product future possibilities.

Got an offer from them 6 months ago . Didn't join as their business didn't look sound . They said to me that they are building a UPI app I was like phonpe & paytm are already there na ! I expected some layoffs from slice as they were giving pretty high packages and a lot of over hiring. But surprisingly I didn't hear anything like that even though many start-ups which have stronger business models than slice are laying off.

I want to refer my younger brother to Slice or PhonePe for Analytics role. He is from BITS Pilani, and working at Groww for past 1+year and very smart. He wants to join Slice or PhonePe only. Can someone share any opinions on learning, growth, culture etc for these 2 companies? Also any other fintech he should target?

Why do this when there are no UPI fees and an abundance of UPI apps already? No hate. Just curious why they’d build this
