information not very digestible, classified.

High Level Approach
Options Considered:
Currently on top-left of the homepage, there is a hamburger icon which leads to a partial page that slides from left to
right and shows details about User’s paytm ID and some other service options below it.
The high level plan is to replace the existing menu of miscellaneous services with a holistic Menu (MECE menu items)
with all paytm’s services classified under few terms(service Type). The user can click on any “service type” and will
be directed to the service type page consisting of all services under the umbrella.
Click on top left hamburger icon The menu opens up with user QR code Scrolling down,
miscellaneous functionalities
Use-Cases to be served
1. Being able to navigate to the desirable service effortlessly o opening the app
2. Classification of all services done holistically on a navigation menu
3. Menu items should open up to specific services under classification
Non-goals
1. We Do not wish to change the existing homepage apart from the navigation menu from top
left homepage hamburger’s functionality as of now, the change will be a part of next
release.
2. Reason for the same is that we do not want to change the UI/UX completely, making it
confusing for existing users, rather we want to provide an option of another (more
organized) user-flow in case the user gets stuck finding services.
Solution:
Classification/Menu Items:
● My Profile: QR Code, paytm ID, History, Orders and bookings, settings, digilocker,
etc
● Money Transfer: Scan QR, Mobile Number, Bank Details, Tap-to-pay, self transfer,
gift cards etc
● Recharge/bill payment: Mobile, Rent, DTH, Electricity, FASTag, Metro etc

Future considerations
1. Post full-fledged implementation, navigation demo will be given to new app-installers of
paytm/new users
2. The next thing to be worked up is homepage redesigning to make more user-friendly
3. Post Redesigning: A chatbot would be developed to help users find what they’re looking for
Launch Plan
There are 3 phases of this feature:
1. Development and Designing Minimum Usable Feature ready
2. Internal Technical Testing
3. User A/B Testing: To be displayed to 20% of new users and comparing the following metrics for both groups:
- Avg Time spent by new user (user who visited the app<10 times before) from opening app to first
successful transaction (only transaction interactions with app counted)
- % App usage instances when search feature is used WoW
- % New users making 15th transaction, % new users making 50th transaction via Paytm(Tipping
points)
