Built the payments infrastructure a large share of Indian internet businesses now run on, from a standing start with no banking relationships. Expanded credibly beyond the gateway into payouts, neobanking and lending rather than stalling as a single-product company.

About
Co-founded Razorpay in 2014 with Shashank Kumar after meeting at IIT Roorkee, building payments infrastructure for Indian businesses. Leads the company as chief executive.
An IIT Roorkee mechanical engineering graduate, he was working at Schlumberger when he and Shashank Kumar hit a wall trying to collect online payments for a student crowdfunding project. They spent months winning bank approvals before launching Razorpay in 2014 and joining Y Combinator's winter 2015 batch. He leads the company as chief executive, and has taken it from a single payment gateway into payouts, neobanking and lending.
