Q. How can I attend the event?

A. Let's start with first finding the venue. It's mentioned on your e-ticket. If it says 'Watch on Insider', you need to log-in on the Paytm Insider website via your desktop browser or mobile browser. Remember to use your registered email ID (one on which you've received your e-ticket). Then click on the "Join Event" button on your e-ticket to join in.

If the venue name is Online, then you'll receive joining details from the organizer's end before the event.

And in case a venue name has been mentioned, that means it will be an on-ground event - and you will have to visit the venue in order to attend it.

A. Just two things. Your e-ticket and a valid Government ID proof. Please keep in mind, the safety protocols and follow the instructions provided by the venue authorities.
