Risk register
R-001: Payments reliability, security and compliance risk
Juspay processes payment flows and claims very high transaction volume, TPS and uptime; outages, security incidents or compliance failures could be material.
Diligence request: Request PCI reports, incident history, processor SLAs, regulatory licenses and security architecture review.
R-002: Revenue quality hidden behind TPV
Large TPV and transaction counts do not reveal net revenue, take rate, gross margin, processor pass-through costs, churn or cash burn.
Diligence request: Request audited financials, TPV-to-revenue reconciliation, gross margin, CAC/payback and cash runway.
R-004: Competitive and pricing pressure from payments platforms
Adyen, Stripe, Checkout.com, Razorpay and processor-native tools can compress orchestration pricing and customer acquisition economics.
Diligence request: Run win-loss review, price benchmarking and customer switching-cost diligence.
R-003: Enterprise customer concentration unknown
Public logos and 500+ enterprise claims do not disclose revenue concentration, renewal terms, uptime credits or major merchant dependency.
Diligence request: Request top customers, revenue by account, SLAs, churn and reference calls.
R-005: Open-source monetization and support burden
Hyperswitch expands developer reach but may create support, security and monetization tradeoffs.
Diligence request: Review hosted/commercial revenue attribution, roadmap governance, security process and support cost.
R-006: Cross-border expansion execution risk
Global hubs and 50+ country integrations increase localization, regulatory and operational complexity.
Diligence request: Request regional P&Ls, licenses, compliance matrix and management coverage by geography.
