About Razorpay

Razorpay was founded in 2014 by IIT Roorkee alumni Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar. Experiencing the difficulty of accepting online payments for their own projects, they built a developer-friendly payment gateway. Razorpay was the second India-focused startup to be selected for the Y Combinator accelerator program.

Over the years, Razorpay expanded from a pure payment gateway into a full-stack 'neobanking' platform for businesses. It introduced RazorpayX for business banking and payouts, and Razorpay Capital for corporate lending. The company achieved unicorn status in 2020.
