About

Many platforms struggle to monetize beyond subscriptions. I bridge that gap by integrating API-led growth strategies and embedded payment solutions. Currently at Cashfree Payments, I help ERPs, and SaaS platforms unlock new revenue lines through embedded payment APIs, UPI Autopay, and GMV-linked revenue-share models. Over the last five years, I’ve scaled partnerships and GTM programs with players like Cognizant, Meesho, Swiggy, Times Internet Group, and Lenskart, delivering measurable revenue impact from ₹45L quarterly recurring at 1% Club to ₹5Cr+ monthly disbursements at Klub. My approach blends product thinking with commercial design: identify the integration that drives stickiness, structure incentives that sustain it, and build attribution loops that prove ROI. Off the record, I’m obsessed with how APIs are redefining “partnerships” less about handshakes, more about inter-operability. Feel free to contact me at aby.mathews@cashfree.com
