Manas Agrawal of Bernstein Societe Generale Group, says the last three days have been very volatile for PB Fintech. So, clarity on offline expansion front will be helpful.

Now, how they go about doing this is the question, is it going to be capital intensive or it will be a partnership of sorts, it seems like that is the big question that is weighing on the stock because people bought into the story for PB Fintech for its strong growth, its capital light business model.
