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

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.
