In a move that could signal a major shift for Paytm, founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has resigned from the board of Paytm Payments Bank on Monday. 

One97 Communications Ltd., the parent company of Paytm, withdrew its nomination of Sharma, who served as the bank's part-time non-executive chairman and board member. 

The filing stated, "OCL withdraws its nominee from the Paytm Payments Bank Board and Vijay Shekhar Sharma steps down as part-time non-executive chairman and board member; PPBL's future business is to be led by a reconstituted board."
