Paytm Launches India’s First Solar Soundbox for Merchants to Harnesses Sustainable Energy

Fintech Firm, Paytm, India’s leading payments and financial services distribution company and pioneer of QR codes, Soundbox, and mobile payments, has announced the launch of its ‘Paytm Solar Soundbox’ for merchants, a first-of-its-kind in India.

This innovative device requires minimal sunlight for a quick charge that provides full-day power, enabling uninterrupted payments and reliable, consistent service for India’s small shop owners and merchants.

The Made in India Paytm Solar Soundbox is an environmentally friendly solution that uses a low-cost alternative energy source, ensuring that merchants in rural and remote areas as well as places experiencing electricity shortages can be a part of the digital ecosystem.

With this, Paytm continues to support merchants, promote financial inclusion, and drive sustainable practices across the country. This affordable device is equipped with a solar panel on top, allowing it to auto-charge under sunlight. It features two batteries—one that charges with solar energy and another that charges with electricity.

Even if completely discharged, the solar battery can provide a full day of power after just 2-3 hours of sun exposure, while the electricity-powered battery can last up to 10 days without recharging. This minimizes the need for frequent charging and supports green energy.
