Hoomans of Razorpay Design

Kshipra is here because she enjoys the drama of finding the solution to the variety and scale of problems that come along the way. Enjoys dealing with the abstracts (& metaphors and puns), likes making meetings less awkward. Doesn’t like being put in a box.

Mountains over beaches. Unlike Steve Jobs, he prefers to wear different shirts to the office. He likes to meditate & do yoga. While he is not designing, you can find him reading about behavioral psychology, stock markets, playing poker, and improvising his didgeridoo skills.

Sampada is a visual designer who sneaked into becoming a product designer. Nobody can beat her in FRIENDS and Brookyln99 trivia - so you better do your homework should you choose to challenge her.

No one knows what it exactly is that Abhi-now does in the team apart from cracking only one pun over and over again. We’ve seen him mostly be on calls with users. And then more. and more. At this point, we aren’t even sure if he’s doing all the calls for research anymore. Tell him a story and he will make it sound more interesting than it actually is.

You can talk to Soni about literally anything! - From how to run design teams to the vast network of underground internet cables in the world. The latter is a testament to his childlike curiosity - which he satisfies with his binging sessions on YouTube. When he’s not putting out design fires, find him on a trek, gardening while listening to audiobooks or strumming his guitar!

Anupriya is our very own MS Dhoni. Known for keeping calm and never getting stressed in the face of mammoth tasks, you can be rest assured you're in safe hands if you're in Team Anu. Our inhouse 'fashionista' has all the insider information on where to shop in Bangalore.

Kathir has done it all - from witnessing lights in a graveyard in Norway to winning high stake Poker games in office. He likes to go off grid, recently he went to an island and came back as a licensed diver. Ask him anything about the Razorpay Mobile App or on Design Process in general.

Madhura is the first person to Game nights. Probably because she's the organizer and has to be there to explain to us noobs multiple times the rules of this game only she has heard of. A communication designer here, shes been picking up Webflow recently and getting darned good at it too!

Knows a little about a lot of things @Razorpay. Early bird (008). .Sub-40 speedcuber. Teetotaler. Has long curly hair. Shitposts on Twitter @chettyarun

• A designer who loves to code • Engg. turned designer • Loves interaction design • Obsessed with Design Systems & Human Psychology • Die-hard Cr7/Football fan! • Loves playing PS (especially FIFA)

Self taught designer • Understanding life • Minimalist • Story & Design enthusiast * Love Nature & Music * Respect hard working beings

When Isha says she love mountains, she means good views and chilling at patio, not hiking. Apart from creating cutesy illustrations, she sometimes indulges in the art of collecting books and never reading them. Has three pets and won’t ever shut up about it. Likes pineapple on pizza.

Oh he’s always ‘prasann’, who travels a lot, is a foodie, loves to have local cuisine wherever he goes, plays the cajon occassionally, has a good hand on SLRs and loves to interact with people, learning and sharing experiences as he goes!

Have to clear read emails. Even number inbox. Transitioned from Medicine to Design. and from computer science. Sculptures. Cinema.

Nishant is one of those Chartered Accountant turned Designer. He loves making sense of complexity & simplifying it for others. We like to pull him to meetings for his candidness & to call a spade a spade. When not calling out spades he can be seen obsessing over coffee, calligraphy or his side-hustle Fleck

Overthinker, overtalker, overpassionate. Reads everything from shampoo bottles & fake news to autobiographical tomes. Will probably crash her scooty bird-tracking. Spontaneously breaks into dance anywhere. Hit her up for most pleasant, deep nonsense.

Once an avid reader, now a binge-watcher. Cannot stand non-fiction on paper. Indian mythology, Spanish football (mostly Messi) and World politics - only three things that make evenings interesting. Stand-up comedy connoisseur and a Potterhead to boot.

Architecture survivor having dabbled in advertising, theatre, etc. before realizing all roads lead to Product Design. Nirmal enjoys reading any book that isn't motivational, only ever listens to Taylor Swift, is overthinking whether this bio makes his personality come out and lives the 'influenza' lifestyle on Instagram.

Mostly seen with earphones on trying to shoot up views for some underrated artist out there. Jayant is the happiness officer of the team but if you're having a chat with him it's highly likely that he'll crib about why life sucks more than once

An introvert & overthinker, so you will mostly find him in his space with earphones on, vibing on some altrock music while working/walking/sleeping. And while he is not designing, he likes to binge on Netflix and is crazy about Time Travel stuff & Marvel. He also likes to travel, appreciates good food, good at photography and knows a little bit of guitar.

A resident of the internet currently into Goodreads challenges, indie video games, and learning to cut her own hair. Will read your tarot cards for the very cheap price of ONE (1) first-born child. Interested in anything animated, and has a soft spot for graphic novels. Hopes to one day settle on ONE hobby and learn to be good at it... but today is not that day.

Tanaya stumbled upon the world of UX by accident. She realized this is the place where she could really use her superpower of overthinking everything. When she is not designing, she can be found trying out new recipes, playing chess with her friends or singing off-key in her room.

Remember when Biswa went to college for the first time, saw this "Kaala T-Shirt, Lambe baal" guy playing the guitar, humming hotel california and discovered what it is like to be actually cool? Yeah. That guy was Ankit.

He’s the guy with the beard who loves finding solutions to design problem. This engineer turned designer loves playing chess, killing time on YouTube and reading about human behaviour.

Vinod enjoys design because it gives him a chance to learn about varying contexts and systems. These days he's trying to make more memes - often abt his failures - because there's so much content there.

Pranjal does a bit of everything really! Being a generalist means one has to be ready to tackle multitudes of problems, basically jack of all trades (emphasis on the JACK part), except of course when it comes to illustrations. In his own words, 'I. Can. Not. Even.'

An adventurer in the truest sense of the word. She was in the Himalayas during the pandemic for a workcation, before which she was surfing in the beaches of Mangalore, before which she was in the States learning design before which...you get the point. Whenever she gets the time, she whips out her paintbrush and creates some incredible paintings of botanicals!

Yet another Engineer turned Designer. Generalist in design, paradoxical in life. Nice enough to pity-laugh at Simran jokes. When she's not working you'll find her binging 00s tv shows, skating, enjoying twitter drama, learning spanish and watching The Social Network for the 100th time.

Rahul has created over 100s of illustrations at Razorpay, you might've spotted many of them in the wild. He loves exploring the great outdoors & freezing some of his favourite moments. At other times, he can be found working at his minimal yet insanely aesthetic desk which houses some of his fav. plants (he has 100s of em).

Arun was once a developer, misspend his youth working with Indian MNCs, recouping now by working with fun and energetic product/design teams. Read, watch and talk about everything non-fiction on behavioural psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy. Currently reading 'The beginning of infinity'

Action movie On. Watches cricket and plays football. Loves meeting new people with clashing perspectives. Perpetually curious and a homebody.

Don’t schedule a meeting with Arjit unless somebody’s life depends on it. When he’s not neck deep in keyframes, he’s either on a drive to calm his mind playing FIFA on his PS4 or experimenting with whatever he can get his hands on. He once set fire to popcorn the first time he made it but well, even Tesla has had his fair share of accidents!

A brand designer at heart. Loves hiking in the mountains, Nu metal, Sci - fi and constellation 'cassiopeia'. He is working on creating brands & products from around the planet. Ask him whether Nu Metal is some kind of metallic alloy and incur his wrath.

Senthur's mom caught him chopping a character's head off while in school. Post which, he got banned from playing video games. So he hides in his bedroom and plays games that have absolutely no purpose. When he's not playing video games, he's probably kicking a ball or smashing a shuttle.

Jack of random trades & master of absolutely nothing. Yet. Has previously dabbled in branding, furniture, architectural & interior design and user research. Also erratically does random things in her free time like architectural photography, sketchnoting, lettering & even giving haircuts (thanks to COVID).

Hates late meetings. Will stop talking to you if you schedule one. Has a lot of Pets! Can potty train you too if you ask nicely. Loves to drive, travel and go to new places. Plays drums sometimes and can give 101 lessons on how to grow a beard. :P

Makes edible food once a while. A connoisseur of finding good indie playlists, and follows disastrous shower humming cleansing routine. Interested in Hype Culture, stays perpetually broke. Loves one backpack, we will figure-it-out-on-the-way trips. Aspires to dive into speculative narratives and culture studies!

Samyak has been watching 1 film per day ever since the 11th grade! He doesn't just consume stories but also creates - getting ready to publish his first comic book! Yep! A 90 pager full of his incredible drawings telling a tale of an India that could have been. If that is too heavy, just ask him why he just switched his favourite show from FRIENDS to the Office.

We're a bunch of weird, hungry and humble hoomans working collectively towards simplifying finances for businesses. We’re always up for healthy banter on all things design & otherwise. Reach out to us and set that coffee on the boil.
