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 is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

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.
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.
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.
The product is moving from SaaS discovery and spend toward the IGA territory of policy, certification, and remediation. Each release either adds a governance control or makes the underlying identity data more trustworthy. The Workflows v2 canvas, SoD detection and source prioritization all support automated, auditable access decisions.
SoD and Workflows v2 are likely to move from early access and beta to general availability. Expect deeper links between them, such as SoD violations triggering canvas playbooks directly.
