What management said
And just to remind everyone, this is a classic compounding business because our sign-ups are very strong and repeat rates are very strong. So it just sort of compounds upwards as you sort of just go through time. So we're seeing that sort of compounding traction and is significantly faster, as you can imagine, from the first time we started the postpaid journey.
It's primarily the same customer, same merchant, primarily making their life better. Like I told last Manish's question that we believe there will be a significant amount of opportunity for us to create agents and so on.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the decline in marketing services revenue and its potential impact on overall growth. There were also questions about the sustainability of customer acquisition costs and the effectiveness of recent promotional strategies.
