Atul Mehta SVP - Sales, RazorPay
Mr Atul stated that it is essential to look at how and why it started? Along with two other IIT Roorkee, he started the journey of RazorPay, concentrating on a technology company which is into payments. He said our competition is cash and offline. India is spending 1.8 to 2% of its GDP on printing currency notes. Why do we need to print notes when we can transfer the trust in other ways? That will be great. RazorPay is the ERP of the Fintech business, and we are a full-fledged suite. His mantra is working for CTC - Clients, Team and Company, and for PPF - People put first. People can make or break a company.
