We're fixing the payment
layer for India's EV future

AmpPay is built by a fintech-native team with deep experience in payment orchestration, EV infrastructure, and B2B SaaS. We believe India's EV revolution will only succeed if the payment experience is as seamless as the charging technology.

Our Mission

Remove every rupee of friction from India's EV charging ecosystem

EV charging is a fintech play disguised as energy infrastructure. Every charging session is a micro-payment transaction — and right now, those transactions are broken. Apps that don't load. Wallets nobody wants. Refunds that take a week. Revenue that should have been collected sitting on the table.

AmpPay exists to fix this. We believe that the single most important unlock for EV adoption in India isn't building more chargers — it's making the chargers that already exist work reliably and generate revenue consistently.

When a driver can scan any charger with any UPI app, pay instantly, and start charging without friction — that driver becomes a repeat customer. That's how CPOs achieve sustainable utilisation. That's how India's EV infrastructure becomes financially viable.

Our Values

What drives us every day

Frictionless First

Every product decision starts with "does this make the driver's experience easier?" If adding a feature creates friction, we don't add it.

India-Native

UPI is the right payment rail for India. We're not porting a global solution — we're building for India's infrastructure, regulations, and user behaviour from the ground up.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No surprise deductions. Every rupee flowing through AmpPay is visible to CPOs in real-time. Trust is built with receipts, not promises.

CPO Revenue First

Our success is measured by CPO revenue growth. If our CPOs make more money, we make more money. Our incentives are perfectly aligned.

Reliability Over Features

A payment system that's 99% reliable is useless. We obsess over uptime, failover, and error handling before shipping new features. Boring infrastructure is good infrastructure.

Green by Design

We exist to accelerate EV adoption. Every charger we make economically viable, every driver we convert from petrol — that's our environmental impact measured in tonnes of CO₂.
