Ex-Google engineering head Prabhu Rambadran joins Razorpay’s tech leadership

Digital payments startup Razorpay has appointed Prabhu Rambadran as senior vice president of engineering. Prior to this he was head of engineering at Google.

In a statement, Razorpay said Prabhu will lead the company's engineering team across risk and intelligence, business banking, payments, customer engagement, and core infrastructure. He will also oversee the PeakXV-backed fintech's plans to accelerate product innovation and strengthen its technology stack.

“His leadership will strengthen our tech foundation as we build AI-first platforms for the next decade of digital payments and banking,” said Shashank Kumar, cofounder and managing director of Razorpay.

Prabhu has over 18 years of experience, and has held multiple leadership roles in various organisations. Prior to Google, he had 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 make an impact at scale. I'm thrilled to be part of this incredible team as we build secure, intelligent, and future-ready systems that shape the next wave of fintech transformation across India and Southeast Asia,” said Prabhu.

Founded in 2014 by Kumar, and Harshil Mathur, Razorpay has so far raised around $742 million in funding from investors such as Tiger Global, GIC, and Ribbit Capital, among others.

The fintech has completed the reverse flip of its parent entity from the US to India, as reported by ET in May.
