Razorpay is one of India's leading full-stack financial technology companies, powering the way businesses move, manage, and grow money.

With strong roots in India and growing operations in Southeast Asia, we are shaping the next chapter of financial technology across the region.We are backed by global investors including GIC, Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India & SEA), Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital, Matrix Partners, MasterCard, and Salesforce Ventures, having raised over $740 million to date. Strategic acquisitions — including Ezetap (POS and offline payments), Curlec (Malaysia expansion), BillMe (digital invoicing), and POP (rewards-first UPI) — along with earlier moves in fraud prevention, payroll, and lending, have further strengthened our platform and widened our footprint across Asia.But what truly sets Razorpay apart is our culture.
