Razorpay becomes India payments partner for Replit’s global AI platform

Razorpay and Replit have announced a partnership to help AI-first builders in India not only pay for their subscriptions seamlessly but also turn their ideas into scalable, monetised products. 

By integrating Replit’s AI software creation platform with Razorpay’s payments infrastructure, the partnership allows AI-built products to accept UPI from day one. 

Rolling out in beta, Replit will go live with Razorpay’s International Payments Suite, allowing Indian users to pay in INR via familiar methods like UPI and cards. This will effectively strive to transform a global, cross-border subscription into a local payments experience for Indian customers.

As per market research, India processes over 20 billion UPI transactions every month and UPI accounts for around 85% of all digital payments.

According to Razorpay, its payment stack will be embedded into the Replit platform, enabling the Replit agent to serve and monetise Indian users. Razorpay will handle compliance, FX, and USD settlements behind the scenes, allowing Replit to monetise Indian users without setting up a local entity.

Building on recent collaborations with global AI companies, including work with OpenAI and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to pioneer agentic AI payments, Razorpay strives to expand how AI platforms unlock real economic value. The partnership with Replit extends this vision by embedding Razorpay’s India-ready payments and compliance stack directly into AI-driven software creation.

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide and over 500,000 professional users, it is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation. The company has grown from $3 million to more than $300 million in ARR in the past 18 months.
