The company, which was founded in 2014 by Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar, is targeting a market valuation of roughly $5 billion for this public debut ^[1].

Founded in 2014 by Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar ^[1], Razorpay operates financial infrastructure providing payment processing, corporate banking tools, payroll systems, and commercial lending services to businesses ^[1].

The regulatory clearance follows the company's decision to move its corporate holding entity from the United States back to India ^[1].
