The story

Contlo was founded in 2022 as an AI-native marketing platform (Brand AI Model) aimed at fast-growing D2C and e-commerce brands. The company integrates with payment infrastructure — specifically Razorpay — to connect marketing workflows to post-checkout data, enabling behavioral retargeting and customer journey optimization. Its embedded finance footprint is narrow: the Razorpay integration is primarily a data/analytics connector for marketing purposes rather than a full payments monetization play.
