How many of y’all think this wasn’t cool?

It’s actually a fine job done as a competitor.

Only cool as long as PineLabs isn't doing the same shit as Paytm under the wraps

I might be biased but I lost the respect I had for Pine labs and the management that might have approved this.

I can see plenty of examples on twitter aligning with my POV as well. AFAIK it hurt Pine labs more than it hurt Paytm.

As far as I feel, the only reason you are getting flak is because there is a bhakt population for PayTM.

Many companies attack each other like this. Even fk sometimes takes a dig, so did Mercedes, bmw, Toyota etc in their ad camps.

My suggestion is if it counts, back your game. Double down And elaborate next time. Just do your best to keep out of nationalist politics because the other side will use that angle for sure

I personally loved it. India needs more witty banter in advertising.

Doesn’t matter! But there definitely should be healthy competition.

I felt it's cool banter. I guess retail investors might have felt bad

I did not find anything wrong with this ad. They are competitors, they will fight and sometimes they will fight hard.

Be careful, Competition and poking are not the same. Pinelabs is a very mature product no doubt. Kudos to them for making it this Big

Dint paytm take such digs at gpay long back? Not sure but vaguely remember the founders went bonkers challenging the competitor in their townhall! So, this is just reaping what they sowed!
