Bullish on India’s UPI, neo-banking and credit growth story: Razorpay
Medial

Razorpay, a full-stack payments and banking platform for businesses, is bullish on India’s fintech story on the back of growth gems like UPI, neo-banking and credit, which happen to be its fast-growing businesses in India. “The growth of payments has been exponential in the last few years. There were 10 billion UPI payments last month and that speaks of the kind of scale we’ve achieved. There are 200-300 million Indians who are paying via UPI but we have a population of more than 1 billion. While the payments pool has expanded from 30 million people to now 300 million people, it still has some distance to go,” Shashank Kumar, Founder & Managing Director, Razorpay told Business Today.

Razorpay revenue soars 65% in FY25; gross profit crosses Rs 1,200 Cr
Medial

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 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.
