Harshil Mathur is the CEO & Co-Founder of Razorpay, one of India's largest full-stack fintech companies, powering digital payments for millions of businesses.
A mechanical engineer from IIT Roorkee, Harshil started his career at Schlumberger before quitting in 2014 to co-found Razorpay with Shashank Kumar — driven by the conviction that online payments in India were fundamentally broken.
Under Harshil's leadership, Razorpay evolved from a payment gateway into a converged payments and banking platform — launching RazorpayX (neobanking) and Razorpay Capital (lending), and scaling through eight acquisitions including Ezetap, PoshVine, Opfin, Thirdwatch, BillMe, and Curlec (its first international acquisition, now powering Razorpay's expansion across Malaysia and Singapore). In 2025, Razorpay made a strategic $30 Mn investment in POP to deepen its consumer payments and loyalty play.
Harshil has been recognized in Fortune 40 Under 40 (2024), named EY Entrepreneur of the Year (2022), and featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia (2021), among other honours.
In this candid -1 conversation, we'll go back to the earliest days — before scale, before category leadership, and before Razorpay became the backbone of Indian internet commerce. We'll explore what it takes to build a fintech from zero in a market where the infrastructure itself needed to be rewritten, how to make bets on regulation, partnerships, and product when the ground keeps shifting, and what it means to compound a company over a decade through acquisitions, new business lines, and international expansion.
This session is designed for builders who want to understand the thinking behind one of India's defining companies — not just the headlines. Expect first-principles reasoning, hard-earned lessons from a decade of building, and the kind of perspective you only get from shipping real infrastructure at scale.
Registration and approval are required, and space is limited.
