Razorpay Bolsters AI Leadership with Microsoft, Salesforce Vets

Razorpay, a leading fintech company, has strengthened its artificial intelligence (AI) leadership by hiring senior engineering executives from prominent tech firms. The new hires include Sudhir Reddy, former chief technology officer and co-founder of Divyam.ai; Abhishek Agarwal, formerly Principal Group Engineering Manager at Microsoft; Bhavya Shivaprakash, former Senior Director at Salesforce; and Anuj Mathur, former Senior Director at CRED.

The appointments come as Razorpay prepares for a future where AI agents will initiate purchases, negotiate transactions, and execute payments autonomously. Shashank Kumar, co-founder and CTO of Razorpay, said that the next decade of financial infrastructure will be built differently from the last.

Razorpay has been expanding its AI-focused engineering build-out since last year with the appointment of Praburam Rambadran as Senior Vice President of Engineering. The company has introduced several products aimed at embedding artificial intelligence across its financial services platform, including Agentic Payments and Agent Studio.
