What is Zluri?
Zluri ships canvas workflows and a Segregation of Duties engine, moving from SaaS management into full IGA territory.
Zluri is in a concentrated feature-ship cycle, landing two significant enterprise compliance capabilities in one week: a visual canvas-based workflow builder (Workflows v2) that replaces a linear builder with node graphs, conditional branches, and dynamic variable support; and Segregation of Duties (SoD), a policy engine for detecting toxic access combinations with automated remediation via Playbooks. The August 30 cluster of three releases (source prioritization, instance management, activity-based status controls) built out the identity data layer these modules now operate against.
What is Razorpay?
Razorpay launched RAY, an AI account manager on WhatsApp, while its blog shifted heavily toward cross-border payment education.
Razorpay's most recent product launch is RAY — an AI account manager running on WhatsApp, built in partnership with IndusInd Bank and with Bajaj Finance as an early partner. It gives merchants real-time operational insights (reconciliation, dashboards, reports) without leaving WhatsApp. The rest of the recent changelog is SEO-oriented content covering international payment use cases for Indian businesses — useful reference material but not product releases.

Zluri
10.0FINANCE
Zluri ships canvas workflows and a Segregation of Duties engine, moving from SaaS management into full IGA territory.
◆ Current state
Zluri is in a concentrated feature-ship cycle, landing two significant enterprise compliance capabilities in one week: a visual canvas-based workflow builder (Workflows v2) that replaces a linear builder with node graphs, conditional branches, and dynamic variable support; and Segregation of Duties (SoD), a policy engine for detecting toxic access combinations with automated remediation via Playbooks. The August 30 cluster of three releases (source prioritization, instance management, activity-based status controls) built out the identity data layer these modules now operate against.
◆ Where it's heading
The August 30 foundation releases — source prioritization, first-class instance/account entities, activity-based status thresholds — form a coherent identity model upgrade that makes Zluri's data precise enough to power compliance automation. Workflows v2 and SODs are the enforcement layer built on top. The trajectory is clear: Zluri is systematically working up the ITAM/IGA stack from discovery → governance → compliance automation, compressing a roadmap that traditionally spans separate products.
◆ Prediction
Non-human identity (NHI) support, explicitly called out as the next step in the instance management release, is the next significant capability addition. Combined with SODs and account-level access reviews, Zluri is positioning directly against dedicated IGA tools in the SME/mid-market.
Razorpay
7.5FINANCE
Razorpay launched RAY, an AI account manager on WhatsApp, while its blog shifted heavily toward cross-border payment education.
◆ Current state
Razorpay's most recent product launch is RAY — an AI account manager running on WhatsApp, built in partnership with IndusInd Bank and with Bajaj Finance as an early partner. It gives merchants real-time operational insights (reconciliation, dashboards, reports) without leaving WhatsApp. The rest of the recent changelog is SEO-oriented content covering international payment use cases for Indian businesses — useful reference material but not product releases.
◆ Where it's heading
Razorpay is layering AI-native merchant touchpoints onto its existing payment infrastructure. RAY represents the first step toward conversational account management — moving operational data from dashboards into a messaging interface that Indian businesses already live in. The volume of cross-border payment content signals a push into international payment capability for the Indian SME market.
◆ Prediction
Expect RAY to expand beyond reporting into action-taking: initiating refunds, approving payouts, or resolving disputes via WhatsApp — the natural progression from read-only account intelligence to transactional AI.
