If Razorpay is right about AI, you may never open a payment app again
Description
At a fintech conference in February, Razorpay showed a demo.
A user ordered food on Zomato by voice and paid — without opening a checkout page or a UPI app. No friction and no redirects. Just a job done end-from-end.
The same week, OpenAI quietly rolled back its own in-chat shopping agent.
Razorpay is calling this the biggest disruption to payments since UPI. But agentic commerce raises questions that a demo can't answer — around trust, fraud, consent, and who's liable when an AI spends your money.
