What you likely need

You are one of India's most prominent fintech founders, having built Razorpay into a multi-billion-dollar payments platform with $836.9M raised and a YC W15 pedigree. Your angel investing activity is growing steadily with 19 investments, and your profile would benefit from formalizing your investment vehicle and expanding your public technical presence. Doubling down on thought leadership in agentic payments and AI-driven fintech could cement your position as a defining voice in India's next financial infrastructure wave.

Are these your current priorities?
