While SaaS startups obsess over software margins, Zyro is quietly dominating India's physical payment infrastructure. With just 62 employees and $11.7M in revenue, they've built a connected banking platform that doesn't just process payments—it owns the hardware layer, the banking rails, and the expense tracking workflow.

"Zyro isn't competing with Razorpay or Paytm—it's building a moat that software companies can't cross: physical devices in merchants' hands."

The tech stack tells the story of a modern startup: Next.js for performance, Tailwind CSS for rapid iteration, and Ant Design for consistency. But notice what's missing—no heavy analytics tools, no complex marketing automation. This is a lean operation focused on product, not vanity metrics. The 35% direct traffic (5,111 monthly visits) suggests strong word-of-mouth in merchant communities.

• Hardware-first strategy creates physical trust anchors in merchant stores
• Connected banking solutions merge payments, expenses, and banking in one dashboard
• Hyper-local SEO targeting (Noida, Delhi-NCR) reduces customer acquisition costs
• Lean 62-person team generates $11.7M revenue—$189K per employee
• Sound boxes and POS devices create switching costs that pure software players can't match
