Razorpay strengthens tech bench with senior engineering hire

BENGALURU: Razorpay is bulking up its engineering muscle as India’s digital payments race accelerates. The fintech firm has appointed Anand Saha as senior director of engineering, sharpening its technology leadership at a time when scale, security and uptime matter more than ever.

In the role, Saha will focus on building resilient, high-scale engineering systems and pushing innovation across Razorpay’s core fintech platforms. His mandate spans strengthening infrastructure that supports secure, high-volume digital payments and expanding financial services across a rapidly growing user base.

Saha brings more than 15 years of experience across consumer internet, fintech and enterprise technology. He joins from Games24x7, where he most recently served as avp, engineering, and earlier led RummyCircle’s engineering teams as director and associate director. There, he scaled platforms, modernised technology stacks and drove performance improvements at scale.

Earlier in his career, Saha held engineering roles at BT, Misys and Infosys, building systems across telecom, banking and enterprise environments, experience that aligns closely with Razorpay’s platform-first ambitions.

As digital transactions surge and expectations tighten, Razorpay is betting on engineering depth to stay ahead. The payments war is fought in code. This hire signals the next push.
