Razorpay was founded in 2014 by Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar, who identified a critical gap in India’s online payments landscape. Their mission was to make digital payments accessible to all Indian businesses, especially startups and small enterprises that were overlooked by existing systems. Over the past nine years, Razorpay has grown from a single-product payment gateway into a full-stack financial solutions provider, offering integrated tools for payments, banking, and international transactions. The company has become a key driver of India’s digital economy, empowering businesses across diverse sectors and geographies.
From small retailers in remote regions to exporters handling cross-border payments, Razorpay has transformed how businesses manage money. It launched Curlec by Razorpay, India’s first full-stack international payment gateway, enabling seamless global transactions. This innovation, combined with deep knowledge of local payment behaviors and advanced technology, allows Razorpay to serve a broad range of clients. The platform continues to expand its capabilities, reaching over 5,000 businesses and redefining financial interactions for modern enterprises.
