How Razorpay Turned the 'Payment Failed' Screen Into a $7.5 Billion Business
It began because two engineers couldn't collect money online for a side project. A decade later Razorpay moves an estimated $180 billion a year for millions of Indian businesses - and is walking toward the public markets.
Coupl
Coupl is an Indian consumer fintech building what it calls the country's first neobank for couples. Instead of the paperwork and minimum balances of a traditional bank joint account, Coupl lets two people open a zero-balance shared account with matching RuPay debit cards in about 60 seconds, then split, settle, save and track shared spending inside one app. Backed by Y Combinator (S22) and Entrepreneur First, it serves married, engaged, live-in and same-sex couples across India.
FrontPage
FrontPage is a Bengaluru-based social platform where India's retail traders and investors gather to discuss stocks, share trade ideas, and learn from one another. Backed by Y Combinator (S21) and a roster of fintech founder-angels, the app pairs stock-specific discussion forums with market tools - Nifty heatmaps, FII/DII data, NSE option chains, and a TradeLab paper-trading sandbox - and is now building an AI-assisted stock trading platform for India.
Mochatrade
Mochatrade is a New York-based neo-brokerage that lets Indian traders trade perpetual futures on 50+ US stocks (NVDA, TSLA, AAPL), pre-IPO names, indices, commodities and crypto with up to 50x leverage. Users fund in Indian Rupees via UPI, trade on a familiar terminal-style app running on Hyperliquid's onchain infrastructure with non-custodial wallets, and withdraw back to their bank accounts - no US brokerage account or foreign remittance required. Founded in 2026 by three IIT graduates and backed by Y Combinator (Spring 2026 batch) and Pioneer Fund.
