Paytm Bonds App

Bonds sat behind a high barrier to entry. I built the visual language & UX strategies that made them so intuitive.

Introduction

Paytm Money's Bonds product had strong fundamentals but a steep learning curve. Users were dropping off in the discovery flow before understanding what a bond even was. We rebuilt the surface from scratch to make the first-time experience feel obvious, calm, and safe.

Three campaign phases

We split the funnel into Awareness, Launch, and Conversion. Each phase had its own visual system and its own success metric.

Phase 1

Awareness

Static and animated placements across Paytm's home surfaces. We tested six creative variants and shipped the two with the strongest tap-through.

Phase 2

Launch Week

A dedicated in-app takeover ran for 7 days. Green accents pulled directly from the Paytm brand kept the launch feeling native.

Phase 3

Conversion

Post-launch we shifted to precision — targeted nudges to users who had opened a bond but not completed a purchase.

Iterations & Growth learnings

Every two weeks we tore down what wasn't working. The biggest unlock: leading with a real yield number, not a marketing headline.
