Razorpay’s Seamless Online Payments Platform


Southern California-headquartered SP Investment Fund focuses on providing value by working with affiliates to purchase and rehabilitate government subsidized and market-rate workforce housing. Also active in the seed capital sphere, SP Investment Fund has placed equity in an array of technology startups, in areas from biotechnology to consumer Internet. 

In the latter space, SP Investment Fund is an investor in Y Combinator alum Razorpay which has developed a payments platform gateway for Indian companies seeking to operate efficient businesses online. Combining affordable pricing with an API that is developer-friendly, Razorpay’s system includes fully online onboarding designed to place entrepreneurs in a position of control over their payment ecosystems. 

The Razorpay platform is secure and compatible with the full range of international payment modes, from net banking to e-wallets. At checkout, a single JavaScript line seamlessly embeds cross-platform payment forms such that payments start and end on a single page through the tap of a button. With redirection handled via pop-up, the consumer never leaves the retailer’s site, which in turn maximizes revenue potential.
