Razorpay Founders: India’s Youngest Billionaires at 34

At just 34, Razorpay's founders Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar became India’s youngest billionaires, with a combined net worth of ₹8,643 crore. Their journey began not with capital or connections, but with a simple frustration—how difficult online payments were for Indian businesses.

That annoyance birthed a fintech revolution. Razorpay simplified digital transactions for startups and enterprises alike, becoming a one-stop platform for payments, banking, payroll, and compliance. They tapped into a growing need, offering not just a product but a solution. Today, it’s used by millions of users and businesses across India.

What’s most remarkable is that their rise challenges the stereotype of age and wealth accumulation. While many billionaires hit their stride in their 60s or 70s, these young founders proved that with vision, agility, and tech know-how, age is just a number.

Their story also reflects India's evolving startup ecosystem—bold, youth-driven, and ready to disrupt. From being IIT grads to becoming fintech tycoons, Harshil and Shashank are now inspiring the next wave of entrepreneurs across the country.

Their success reminds us that innovation thrives on solving real-world problems. Razorpay wasn’t just a business idea; it was an answer to a pain point experienced by thousands of others.
