Stripe, financial services company, has appointed Manish Maheshwari as Head of Revenue and Growth for India.
Maheshwari brings over two decades of experience across technology, internet platforms, and startups. He has held leadership roles at Twitter, Flipkart, and Intuit, and has also built startups, including Fanory.ai, an AI-powered creator monetisation platform.
At Stripe, Maheshwari will focus on enabling businesses that are building for global markets, particularly a new generation of AI companies that are scaling internationally from day one.
“As more businesses from India build for global audiences, they will require seamless infrastructure to manage payments, subscriptions, usage-based billing and revenue operations across borders,” said Paul Harapin, Head of Asia Pacific & Japan at Stripe. “Manish brings deep experience across the Indian technology space, and we’re excited to have him lead our efforts to enable these businesses.”
“India is one of the most exciting ecosystems for building global companies today,” said Manish Maheshwari. “Founders here are building for global markets from day one, especially in AI and digital-native sectors. Invideo is just one example of that. I am thrilled to lead Stripe’s efforts to provide businesses with the foundational infrastructure they need to scale and monetise globally.”
Stripe has also been expanding its presence in Bengaluru, which has now become one of its largest and fastest-growing global hubs. The company continues to invest in engineering, operations, and go-to-market teams in India.
Stripe, at $65 billion, is one of the most valued startup. It has been present in India since 2016, but has seen limited scale so far. The tech giant did receive the payment aggregator licence from the RBI in 2024.
