About

I am a part of the core founding team at Razorpay and I know a little about a lot of things. Currently heading Culture and I used head the design team earlier. Besides my work, I’m into advising startups on design & culture, lifting weights & staying fit, and following a healthy lifestyle. I’m also an avid reader, especially of fantasy and science fiction. I sometimes write at chettyarun.com
