Razorpay becomes India payments partner for Replit’s global AI platform
Medial

Razorpay and Replit have announced a partnership to help AI-first builders in India not only pay for their subscriptions seamlessly but also turn their ideas into scalable, monetised products. By integrating Replit’s AI software creation platform with Razorpay’s payments infrastructure, the partnership allows AI-built products to accept UPI from day one. Rolling out in beta, Replit will go live with Razorpay’s International Payments Suite, allowing Indian users to pay in INR via familiar methods like UPI and cards. This will effectively strive to transform a global, cross-border subscription into a local payments experience for Indian customers. As per market research, India processes over 20 billion UPI transactions every month and UPI accounts for around 85% of all digital payments. According to Razorpay, its payment stack will be embedded into the Replit platform, enabling the Replit agent to serve and monetise Indian users. Razorpay will handle compliance, FX, and USD settlements behind the scenes, allowing Replit to monetise Indian users without setting up a local entity. Building on recent collaborations with global AI companies, including work with OpenAI and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to pioneer agentic AI payments, Razorpay strives to expand how AI platforms unlock real economic value. The partnership with Replit extends this vision by embedding Razorpay’s India-ready payments and compliance stack directly into AI-driven software creation. Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide and over 500,000 professional users, it is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation. The company has grown from $3 million to more than $300 million in ARR in the past 18 months.

Razorpay acquires majority stake in POP with $30 Mn investment Rewards-first UPI payments app POP has raised $30 million from Razorpay to grow its payments and commerce platform. With this, Razorpay has acquired a majority stake in the Bengaluru-based startup. While POP did not share further transaction details, it will operate as a separate entity. Earlier in June last year, POP had raised $2.4 million in its seed funding round led by India Quotient and a few prominent angel investors. The fresh proceeds will be used to improve its products, grow its merchant base, and enhance its rewards program. POP started its UPI platform in June 2024. It claims to have crossed 6 lakh daily transactions and 1 million unique monthly transactions within the first year. According to the company, it fulfilled 2 lakh orders and issued over 40,000 RuPay credit cards in collaboration with Yes Bank. POP’s main feature is POPcoins, a multi-brand rewards currency that consumers earn when making payments or shopping on the platform. These POPcoins can be redeemed across POP’s extensive merchant network, offering users flexible and valuable incentives. Razorpay’s investment in POP expands its services into loyalty, engagement, and commerce. POP’s payments and rewards ecosystem lets merchants reward transactions and payments directly. Previously in September 2022, Razorpay acquired PoshVine to add loyalty and rewards to its payments stack. POP will help Razorpay serve merchants by offering payments, loyalty, and engagement services in a single platform. The development follows Razorpay’s recent announcement to shift its domicile back to India from the US. While the company has no immediate plans for a public listing, it has completed key regulatory steps, including its transition into a public limited company and securing approval for the merger of Razorpay Inc. with Razorpay India. Razorpay stands out as one of the few profitable unicorns in the fintech space, having reported revenue of Rs 2,068 crore and a profit of Rs 35 crore in FY24. The company is yet to announce its FY25 results.

Following a strong performance in FY24, payments and business banking platform Razorpay posted a 65% year-on-year growth in its consolidated revenue to Rs 3,783 crore, up from Rs 2,296 crore in FY24. According to the company, its growth in the last fiscal year has been driven by solid execution across its payment gateway, banking, POS, and international businesses, the company said in a statement. The Bengaluru-based firm’s gross profit grew 41% year-on-year to Rs 1,277 crore from Rs 906 crore. Despite robust top-line growth, Razorpay reported a loss in FY25 after accounting for ESOP-related expenses of Rs 1,209 crore. The company attributed the losses to restructuring and tax costs linked to its redomiciling to India. Razorpay highlighted its strong cash position, which gives it the flexibility to invest in innovation and long-term expansion. The company plans to accelerate product-led growth and deepen investments across its core fintech stack, AI-first products, and financial infrastructure. It continues to expand internationally, especially in Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. Founded in 2014 by IIT Roorkee alumni Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, Razorpay has raised over $800 million from investors including Lightspeed, Tiger Global, Peak XV Partners, and GIC. After completing its reverse flip to India, the company converted into a public entity in April 2025. Recently, Razorpay also invested $30 million to acquire rewards-first UPI payments app POP.

Razorpay POS gets RBI approval for offline payment aggregator licence Razorpay POS, the offline payments arm of Razorpay, has received the Payment Aggregator Physical (PA-P) licence from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With this approval, Razorpay now holds all three key RBI payment licences: online payment aggregator, offline (physical) payment aggregator, and cross-border payment aggregator, placing it among a small group of fintech companies authorised to operate end-to-end across India’s payments ecosystem. In recent months, RBI approved online, offline and cross border payment aggregation for around half a dozen companies. These include Paytm, Razorpay, Easebuzz, PayU, Pine Labs and Airpay. With these clearances, the firms are authorised to offer a full stack of payment aggregator services across ecommerce transactions, in-store merchant payments and cross-border payment flows. The PA-P licence allows Razorpay POS to onboard merchants and process in-store digital payments at scale, covering large retailers, enterprises, and small and medium businesses. The company already operates across India’s offline commerce ecosystem through devices such as mPOS terminals, smart POS machines, soundboxes, and pin-on-mobile solutions. Razorpay entered the offline payments segment in 2022 through the acquisition of Ezetap, which was later rebranded as Razorpay POS. Since then, the company has expanded its physical payments footprint alongside its core online payments business. With the offline licence in place, Razorpay can now offer a fully compliant payment infrastructure across digital, in-store, and cross-border transactions.
