Razorpay looks to hire more than 650 employees in next 10 months

Bengaluru: Razorpay is looking to expand its workforce by nearly 50% in the next 10 months, as the payments gateway looks to meet the payments and banking needs of small businesses and freelancers.

The newly minted unicorn, whose business trebled in a pandemic year, currently employs 1,300 people—of which 550 came on board in the last year itself. The fintech startup has also created cross-functional growth opportunities for its existing employees, who will continue to work from home for the next few months.

Of the 650 new positions, 350 will join engineering and product teams, and the rest will go to customer experience, sales and marketing departments. The firm’s primary focus is towards expanding these teams across levels.
