Financial technology giant Razorpay has announced a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology's (MeitY) Startup Hub (MSH). This collaboration aims to accelerate the growth of deep-tech and emerging technology startups across India, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
The initiative will provide MSH-associated startups with access to Razorpay’s fintech infrastructure, tailored mentorship, product credits, and an innovation-centric ecosystem. Startups focusing on areas such as AI, blockchain, robotics, and IoT are key beneficiaries of this partnership.
Through Razorpay's flagship initiative, Rize, participating startups will receive support for company incorporation, Y Combinator applications, pitch deck reviews, and access to comprehensive founder toolkits. A quarterly cohort of Rize-shortlisted startups will also join an exclusive community offering peer networking, mentorship from Razorpay and ecosystem leaders, and exclusive credits for Razorpay's payment gateway, business banking, and payroll solutions.
This partnership is part of Razorpay's broader commitment to fostering entrepreneurship nationwide, complementing its existing collaborations with state governments like Rajasthan, Assam, and Kerala.
