About the team

India is home to a large and rapidly evolving base of digital businesses. SaaS companies, e-commerce businesses, platforms, marketplaces, and AI-first companies are scaling quickly, serving increasingly sophisticated customers, and expanding beyond India.

Others are evaluating how to modernize their payments and financial infrastructure. Our role is to understand their ambitions, help them make well-informed decisions, and bring together the right capabilities across Stripe.
