Commenting on the milestone, Shashank Kumar, MD & Co-founder, Razorpay, said, “A growing number of Indian businesses today are being built for global customers from day one, just as a rising wave of global companies are choosing India as one of their most important growth markets. What these businesses need are financial rails that make it just as easy to serve a customer in New York or Singapore as it is in Mumbai. At Razorpay, we’ve always seen ourselves as a money-movement platform for businesses, not just a payments company.”
He added, “With Razorpay International Payments, we’re taking the complexity out of cross-border payments and creating one trusted solution for ambitious businesses on both sides. Further, receiving the PA-CB license reinforces our deep focus on compliance, our partnerships with banks and regulators, and our commitment to helping Indian businesses participate in the global economy with confidence.”

As cross-border digital commerce becomes a core pillar of India’s growth story, Razorpay aims to be the default operating system for global money movement for Indian businesses.
