Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S10 E22: Ayush Agarwal, Dodo Payments

With that whole narrative, with that whole research around the problem and the solution, I mean, on that, we were able to raise venture capital, so that was kind of amazing.

Building an MOR takes like a billing solution, a fraud solution, etc, etc. There are a lot of building blocks, right, when it comes to payment. So I think there was a conscious call whether we have to build each of the building products on our own or just partner with a different platform, build a sort of layer on top of that and create as a product.

When we actually dig deep into it, let's say if we work with a certain partner for billing, I mean, like it was posing a lot of problems around the customizability because all these different systems, they are built for individual merchants solving for their SaaS or digital products, right? But for MOR, there isn't a single solution because there aren't many MORs that exist in the world, right?

So there isn't any dedicated solution for an MOR. So that's when we're trying a lot, trying to look at a lot of open source tools.

there are a lot of billing tools that are available even there are billion dollar companies for that but it kind of relies to us like after a lot of research after a lot of trial and testing that we can't use the solution we have to build our own system incrementally when it comes to like integrating different payment gateways to optimize global payments or to setting up entities across different countries we can't outsource this to anyone so we kind of mapped out the whole roadmap of the whole product infra that is required for an MRR

Then we did cutting exercise, like how can we build a working product within two months? How can we build a scalable product within, let's say, four months, something like that. So we kind of stripped out a lot of different things that are required when enterprises are a large-sized customer. but not required by the small ones.

So we actually trimmed down our product roadmap while building the entire infra on our own. So that basically ensured like highest reliability, highest customizability. And we can also do incremental changes on that. So yeah.
