MUMBAI: When the magic of Bollywood meets the momentum of fintech, you know something extraordinary is brewing!

Imagine the thrill when two of the world’s favorite obsessions-money and movies-come together under one spectacular campaign.

Cashfree Payments, India’s leading payments and API banking platform, has just made a blockbuster move by launching its electrifying brand campaign, ‘Move Fast,’ and roping in the versatile and much-loved Rajkummar Rao as its brand ambassador. A strategic power play that blends speed, agility, and innovation, this campaign is all set to fuel India’s digital dreams. And while Rao’s charm graces the campaign, we can’t help but hope he leaves “Stree” behind and steps into a fast-paced, tech-powered future!

The Move Fast campaign features a dynamic digital film starring Rao, portraying how Cashfree Payments empowers merchants of all sizes with seamless onboarding, faster payments, and unparalleled support. With its sharp focus on agility, the campaign positions Cashfree Payments as the go-to solution for businesses seeking efficiency and reliability in their payment operations.

Cashfree Payments, CEO & co-founder, Akash Sinha shared the vision behind the campaign, "We are excited to welcome the talented Rajkummar Rao as the brand ambassador. Our refreshed brand centres around one core idea: ‘Move Fast’. With us, businesses can adapt and grow confidently, knowing we support their evolving needs. 'Move Fast' isn’t just about the present; it’s about partnering with businesses for the future and empowering them to stay ahead of the curve. With Rajkummar Rao onboard, this campaign reinforces our commitment to providing businesses with the speed, flexibility, agility and support they need to grow and thrive in an ever-evolving digital world."

The campaign emphasises Cashfree Payments’ industry-leading services, including one-day onboarding, swift issue resolution, and reliable settlements, ensuring minimal disruption to businesses. Its tagline, Move Fast, encapsulates the brand’s mission to support businesses in overcoming barriers and unlocking growth.

Sharing his excitement, Rao commented, “I am thrilled to be part of the Cashfree family. Today, digital payments have become an integral part of our daily lives, making transactions smoother and more efficient. Partnering with a brand that has been at the forefront of the fintech revolution and empowering Indian businesses to scale and move fast is both inspiring and rewarding. I’m proud to be a part of this journey."
