Great news to start off the new financial year. Razorpay is now embedded natively inside OpenAI’s Codex, an industry-first for any Indian payments company. A developer prompts "build me a fitness app with a ₹499 one-time payment." Codex builds it. Razorpay handles the payments. No separate integration, no dashboard-hopping. If AI makes creation effortless, monetisation should be just as simple. India has 6 million developers & weekly Indian users of Codex 4x'd in two weeks this February. We’re building for this shift where more people can create, launch, and earn without friction. We have always enabled businesses so that their payments are smoother, easier, simpler & faster and Codex just got added to that already illustrious list.

We are announcing the launch of Passkey, a biometric authentication for card payments that’s fully compliant with RBI's two-factor authentication framework. We launched this industry-first partnership with Mastercard and Visa. Almost a third of payment failures on cards in India trace back to OTP friction; delayed delivery, wrong entries, redirect loops. This friction literally runs into hundreds of crores in lost revenue, abandoned carts, and broken trust at the exact moment a customer decides to buy. But now, there’s no waiting for an OTP. Your fingerprint or your face and authentication & transaction is done. The authentication happens on your device, card data stays tokenised, and the whole experience becomes invisible at checkout. Razorpay’s biometric authentication delivers up to 95% transaction success rates. For businesses, that’s a great relief on the last mile.

India is probably the only market where agentic commerce could work at scale right now. The UPI infrastructure is already there. Our habits already favor delegation. 950M people who never adapted to app-driven commerce. We rebuilt Razorpay from the ground up for the agentic era. All four launches today are live. #FTX2026

When someone in New York buys Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s brand or Purple Style Labs (PSL), why should their checkout feel any different from shopping at a luxury store on Fifth Avenue? Razorpay just launched Apple Pay for Indian businesses, and it's solving exactly this problem. Indian brands can finally offer their international customers the same smooth, one-tap payment experience they're used to. While India runs on UPI, the West lives on Apple Pay. And we built the bridge for businesses to cater to all kinds of consumers. A great example is the D2C brand Ensemble India which sells to Indian diaspora and consumers across the world. Since launch, Indian businesses are seeing 50%+ better payment success rates, way fewer cart abandonments, and fraud has dropped to almost zero thanks to biometric verification. Early access is live. If you want to start accepting international Apple Pay payments, apply here:
