It was an honour for our CEO, Shweta Rajpal Kohli and Razorpay CEO, Harshil Mathur to host S Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology at the Razorpay office in Bengaluru for an “AI Baatcheet” session with the startup community.

In this candid conversation, Secretary Krishnan outlined India’s frugal yet measured approach to AI, dispelling common misconceptions around the country’s AI readiness. He patiently addressed sharp and relevant questions from founders, investors, and policy experts on AI infrastructure, regulation, and the path ahead.

We are grateful to Secretary Krishnan for also spending valuable time with Razorpay founders Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar diving deep into how the B2B fintech company is leveraging AI across its systems, understanding both the opportunities and challenges around AI adoption at the application layer.

At SPF we remain committed to creating such opportunities that bring startups and policymakers closer.
