Fintech unicorn Razorpay has appointed Prabhu Rambadran as senior vice president of engineering. Earlier, he was head of engineering at Google.

According to Razorpay, Prabhu will lead the company's engineering team across risk and intelligence, business banking, payments, customer engagement, and core infrastructure.

Prabhu has over 18 years of experience and has held multiple leadership roles in various organisations. Prior to Google, he worked with software companies Nutanix and Microsoft across the US and India.

“What excites me most about Razorpay is its culture of relentless innovation, the drive to solve complex problems, and the opportunity to make an impact at scale.

Razorpay has raised over $800 million from investors including Lightspeed, Tiger Global, Peak XV Partners, and GIC. After completing its reverse flip to India, the company converted into a public entity in April 2025. Recently, it also invested $30 million to acquire rewards-first UPI payments app POP.
