New CEO, New Name: Razorpay Curlec’s Post-Founder Chapter

Fresh off its rebrand, Razorpay Curlec is navigating a critical new phase: the post-founder, post-acquisition era. With a new CEO at the helm, the fast-growing payment gateway is now tasked with leveraging its parent company's global scale to win in Malaysia's hyper-competitive fintech market.

New Country Head and CEO Kevin Lee joins us to discuss his mandate for this new chapter. He shares insights on the strategic value of combining local expertise with a global tech stack, his playbook for scaling the business, and how Razorpay's deep focus on AI is shaping their product roadmap.

We discuss:

  • The strategy that led to 70% year-on-year volume growth.

  • The challenges of navigating a post-founder leadership transition.

  • How they are expanding from recurring payments to a full "Pains and Payouts" suite.

  • Their competitive strategy against both global giants and local incumbents.

  • How their parent company's AI philosophy is driving innovation.

    For leaders in the fintech and payments space, this is a deep dive into strategy, scale, and the realities of a post-acquisition journey.
