Will plan IPO only after new business units return more profits: Razorpay’s Shashank Kumar

Live Mint  

Razorpay, the fintech major valued at $7.5 billion, completes 10 years of its startup journey this month. In an exclusive interview, co-founder and managing director Shashank Kumar talks about the company’s reverse flip plans, IPO and the way forward, while reminiscing the early days. We have inculcated that as a cultural pillar of the company whether it’s from a governance perspective, risk management lens or while managing cyber security. But when we achieve those milestones, I would say 2-3 years out into the future, we’ll probably go for it. I don’t think you can do another payment idea or a general e-commerce idea, although you can say that quick commerce is something that came out well in the last few years.
