He has held prominent leadership roles at reputable companies such as Twitter, Flipkart, and Intuit, and has also established startup ventures, including Fanory.ai, an innovative creator monetization platform driven by artificial intelligence.
At Stripe, Manish will focus on providing assistance to businesses targeting global markets, with a specific focus on emerging AI companies expanding their operations internationally from the start.
"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," says 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," says Manish Maheshwari. "Founders here are building for global markets from day one, especially in Al 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 been expanding its footprint in Bengaluru, which has become one of its most sizable and rapidly developing worldwide centers. The organization persists in allocating resources to its engineering, operations, and sales departments in the region.
Additionally, Stripe announced that it will transition to a restricted invitation-only system for new account registrations in India, characterizing this adjustment as a challenging choice in light of the changing regulatory framework within the country.
Stripe announced that businesses in India will no longer have the ability to create new accounts through the company's website; they will now be required to seek an invitation for registration. The startup, a contender in the Indian market against Cashfree and YC-supported Razorpay, will pivot its attention towards providing assistance to specific businesses, especially those with aspirations for global growth.

The alteration is not expected to significantly affect Stripe's financial results since the company has minimal operations in India and other Asian markets. Stripe has affirmed its dedication to the Indian market for the foreseeable future, with plans underway to establish the essential infrastructure required to accommodate a greater number of users in the nation by the latter half of 2025.
