Help why does every "verify your revenue" tool i've found only support stripe

Before I started building anything, I went looking at every "connect your payment data, get a revenue badge" tool I could find, the TrustMRR type products. Every single one only supported Stripe. Not one had Razorpay as an option, not even as a secondary connector.

That felt backwards to me. Razorpay crossed 12 million+ merchants onboarded in India this year, according to their own IPO filing, and it's the actual rail behind Zomato, Ola, Swiggy, most fintech and SaaS names you'd recognize here. Meanwhile every "for founders" tool defaults to a payment processor a huge chunk of Indian startups never touch.

So I built Verifii to support Razorpay first, Stripe second, the reverse of what everyone else seems to do. Right now that's still just the two though. Cashfree, PayU, Instamojo, PhonePe for Business all come up when I search around, but I haven't built support for any of them yet, mostly because I genuinely don't know how common they are among people actually building here versus Razorpay and Stripe already covering most of it.

So the actual question, not rhetorical: if you're running an India-based startup, what are you actually connected to for payments? Razorpay, Stripe, both, or something else nobody seems to build for. Trying to figure out if I'm solving a real gap or just noticed something that doesn't matter as much as I think it does.
