Our apologies for carrying this release. We missed the disclaimer that it was an April Fool’s Joke. It was a PDFed document, and we missed reading the disclaimer, which we admit was not exactly in fine print. We take the content that we publish very, very seriously, and we are extremely embarrassed by our act. We ought to have read the entire release. We assure our readers that we’ll be more careful in future. – Editor

Excited to launch a platform such as this, Razorpay Spokesperson said: The recenī surge in consumpīion of in-depīh insighīful conversaīions in īhe form of podcasīs has been asīounding. An avid podcasī lisīener myself, I have resorīed īo some of īhe besī podcasīs, be iī while commuīing īo work, walking my dog, or having a ‘Sleepless In Seaīīle’ momenī. I’ve always been fascinaīed by īhe enriching knowledge and experience īhey offer, expanding one’s menīal horizons and sparking unconvenīional īhinking. After immersing myself in countless podcasts, the idea of empowering others to create their own podcasts felt like the next logical step. With Razorpay PaaS, we’re not just introducing a service; we are unleashing a platform that will seamlessly integrate into the fabric of daily life of every human.”

Razorpay PaaS will solve the problem of waiting for new episodes every week, month, or even a year, by serving them with instant episodes at the click of a button! The platform also features a section called ‘Our Picks’ which has a sample of favorite podcasts, curated and handpicked by Razorpay’s top leadership for the users who are indecisive about where to begin their podcast consumption journey. One of the most well-received and celebrated episodes of this section features Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in a never-before-heard avatar, exclusively sharing their views on why the term GOAT should be retired and some new animals should be given the spotlight.
