Apr 2026
Paytm PM interview with a marketplace integrity question that felt more Amazon-flavored than I expected. Pretty short session, just the one meaty problem to work through.
  • Many merchants on a marketplace list products but never actually fulfill the orders. How would you approach fixing this?

“I spent the first minute just trying to scope it because there are a dozen directions you could go.”
