We were a group of less than 10 people when we started Razorpay in a small room with a sole purpose to make online payments easier particularly for the underserved segments, SMEs. Fast forward to five years later, we are a 900 strong team today with a 500% growth, making this a tremendous journey for our partner businesses, their consumers and ourselves.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom developing new solutions and constantly redefining industry benchmarks in product innovation and payment experience, I\u2019m really proud of the milestones that the Razorpay team has achieved, it has been nothing short of satisfying!
