What if you could complete a payment just by speaking? That’s the idea behind a new partnership between Razorpay and Sarvam AI, which is bringing voice-driven, multilingual AI payments closer to everyday use: no apps, no typing, just conversation.
AI payments are gaining momentum as Razorpay teams up with Sarvam AI to introduce voice-first, conversational commerce for India’s multilingual users. The partnership focuses on simplifying how people interact with digital payments by allowing transactions to be completed through natural speech.
At the center of this approach is a shift in user experience. Instead of navigating multiple apps, filling in details, and going through traditional checkout flows, users can simply state what they want, such as paying a bill or booking a service, and the AI system processes the request from start to finish. This includes understanding intent, selecting options, and completing the payment.
The use of multilingual AI is key in this context. Sarvam AI’s models are built to understand a wide range of Indian languages, as well as mixed-language inputs like Hinglish. This makes digital payments more accessible for users who may not be comfortable with English-first interfaces or text-heavy applications. Voice-based interaction also reduces friction for those who prefer speaking over typing, especially on mobile devices.
For businesses, AI payments introduce a more direct and efficient way to connect with customers. By reducing the number of steps required to complete a transaction, companies can improve conversion rates and streamline the payment experience. Transactions can happen instantly within a conversation, without redirecting users across platforms.
At the same time, this approach places greater importance on security and trust. As AI takes on a more active role in handling transactions, ensuring clear user consent, strong authentication, and data protection becomes essential. Companies will need to balance automation with transparency to maintain user confidence.
The collaboration between Razorpay and Sarvam AI highlights how AI in payments is being applied to real-world use cases, particularly in markets with high linguistic diversity. By combining voice technology with payment infrastructure, the solution aims to make digital transactions simpler, faster, and more intuitive.
In India, this type of solution grows increasingly popular. Earlier this year, PhonePe payment platform introduced new AI‑powered voice and text features that allow users to interact with its fintech app in a more natural, conversational way. Meanwhile, Cashfree Payments unveiled its new in-chat payments solution, Cashfree Here, at the India AI Impact Summit 2026.
As conversational interfaces become more common, AI payments are likely to play an increasingly important role in everyday financial interactions, reshaping how users engage with services and complete transactions through simple, natural conversations.
