Razorpay eyes profitability ahead of IPO, expands to SG

Indian fintech company, Razorpay, is focused on achieving group-wide profitability as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO) within three years, according to co-founder and managing director Shashank Kumar.

Its core payments business is profitable, but group losses stem from neo-banking and lending. Razorpay posted a US$4 million net income in FY24.

To drive growth, Razorpay expanded to Singapore in March and is eyeing Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and the Middle East.

The company targets US$5 billion in payment volume from these markets, focusing on real-time payments and cross-border transactions.
