\[MEDIA ALERT\]  
  
*A single AI system trained on nearly 3 trillion data points across 4 bn payments, aiming to make every digital payment in India faster, safer, and smarter*

**INDIA, Bangalore, 18th August 2026:** India’s digital payments story **has been one of growth and innovation - yet a quieter gap remains:** a payment that doesn't go through, an OTP that arrives late, a subscription that silently lapses, a card compromised by fraud. For millions of first-time or small-town shoppers, one such experience is often enough to send them back to cash.

Today, , India's Omnichannel Payments Platform for Businesses, announced the launch of the **, India's First Transformer-based AI Foundation Model built for payments, designed to make every digital payment in India more reliable, safer, and predictable.** **Built with NVIDIA and AWS technology,** it combines Razorpay's payments data powered by NVIDIA's accelerated computing and AWS's cloud infrastructure - groundwork that India's e-commerce market needs as it heads toward a projected $350 bn by 2030.

**An internal Razorpay study across 1.5 million shoppers and 51,000+ businesses** found the same payment friction - failed transactions, drop-offs, delays - surfacing identically from a metro high street to a small-town market. That’s what convinced Razorpay to build a single shared model rather than keep refining each one separately.

***The Impact so far:* Ahead of today’s full launch, early components of the Razorpay Foundation Model have been running across 3 trillion data points on the company's network -** testing routing, fraud, and risk decisions on live transactions. Customers including **Blinkit, Bachatt, and redBus,** among others,have already started seeing the benefits of these capabilities in live payment environments.

- **8-10% improvement in payment success rates**
- **⁠⁠8x more international card fraud detected and stopped**
- **⁠⁠5x more fraudulent or disputed transactions identified,** without increasing the number of alerts
- **40% more shoppers see their preferred UPI app on Razorpay Magic Checkout,** helping complete 1-2 lakh more purchases every month

***Why Razorpay:***Most companies see only one slice of a payment. Razorpay **sees payments moving across merchants, instruments, issuers, and gateways at once** - the breadth needed to understand India's payments ecosystem as a whole.

***Why this matters for India:* India's payments landscape is unlike any other:** a single purchase can be processed via UPI, cards, net banking, wallets, or Cash on Delivery across hundreds of banks and gateways.

**Take Meera, buying running shoes for ₹2,400 at 9 pm**: she taps *"Pay"* and sees *"Payment unsuccessful. Please try again."* Her card, bank, and money are all fine - her payment simply had several possible routes, and one was briefly the wrong choice at that moment.

This pattern, repeated across millions of Indians, led Razorpay to **build a model that scores every route in real time and picks the healthiest one before a payment is attempted.**

***What's been missing till now:*** The industry has tackled this with **separate, specialised models** - one each for routing, fraud, risk, and checkout - that don't talk to each other, even though the same signals matter to all of them in one way or the other. It's like several doctors examining a patient, each reading only their own test results.

The Razorpay AI Payments Foundation Model **learns from the entire payments ecosystem's data points at once, and keeps improving with every transaction it processes** - instead of solving one narrow problem at a time**.** **Built on transformer technology - the same family of AI architecture behind many of today's AI systems like LLMs** - it is adapted specifically for the patterns hidden inside Indian payments data.

***Not another ML model, and not an LLM either:***A traditional ML model is built for one job; solve a new problem, and you start over. A foundation model learns how payments move, so that understanding extends to new use cases without re-training. And while the term comes from LLMs, this isn't one - **LLMs understand text; this model understands the language of the movement of money.**

**By the numbers:**

- Trained on approximately **3 trillion data points** across **4 bn payments**
- Learns from roughly **3,000 signals per transaction**
- Built entirely as a **proprietary, ground-up model** - both the architecture and the training data belong to Razorpay
- Generic LLMs understand text. This model understands the **complex movement of money at a massive scale**

***Powering training and live decisions with NVIDIA and AWS:*** Training a model on 3 trillion data points across 4 bn payments needs serious computational muscle. NVIDIA's GPUs powered the training and running of the model at scale; AWS's cloud infrastructure, including Amazon SageMaker, supported development, training, and deployment.

- **For businesses,** this means fewer lost sales, reduced OTP drop-offs, lower fraud losses, and fewer RTO returns
- **For consumers,** it means payments that simply work, every time

**Harshil Mathur, CEO & Founder of Razorpay,** said, *“India's appetite for digital payments is real, but it isn't universal yet - for a large part of the country, going digital still comes down to one thing: does it work, every single time? That's the customer we built this for: the one still deciding whether to trust a screen over cash in hand.* ***An AI-led payments foundation model doesn't just solve today's problem and stop there. Every payment teaches the system something that makes the next payment better.*** *That's what makes this feel less like a product launch, and more like the starting point for how payments in India keep getting better on their own, for years to come.”*

**Pahal Patangia, Head of Global Industry Business Development and Payments, NVIDIA** said, *“India’s rapidly evolving digital economy is creating an opportunity to make payments more intelligent, reliable, and secure. NVIDIA’s work with Razorpay in partnership with AWS on AI payments foundation models has* ***opened up a new frontier, turning complex payments data into real-time contextual intelligence.*** *This has a proprietary and purpose-built semantic AI layer that can help advance the next generation of digital financial services.”*

***Kiran Jagannath, Head of FSI and Conglomerates, AWS India and South Asia,*** said,*"Razorpay is reimagining payments intelligence at India scale with an AI Foundation Model - built on Amazon SageMaker - that* ***consolidates billions of transaction insights into a single, continuously learning intelligence layer****, replacing fragmented ML models with unified AI that delivers higher payment success rates, rapid iteration, and enterprise-grade security for mission-critical payment flows. As India's digital economy grows, we are excited to power the AI infrastructure behind payments that simply work for every Indian."*

***What Razorpay’s AI Payments Foundational Model can do***

- **Hyper-Precision Routing**: Sends each payment down the path most likely to succeed, in real time
- **Network-Level Fraud Detection:** Spots fraud visible only across merchants, flagging a stolen card the moment it's used across unrelated sellers
- **RTO Risk Intelligence:** Flags risky Cash on Delivery orders before checkout
- **Predictive Checkout Personalisation:** Recommends the payment method most likely to work for each customer.

Looking ahead: Razorpay sees this as the starting point, not the destination - with the goal that every payment decision, from authentication to routing to fraud to lending, is eventually powered by one continuously learning model. With India's digital e-commerce market projected to reach , Razorpay sees the AI Payments Foundation Model as part of the groundwork that growth will need.
