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.
