Pine Labs and Google Cloud Collaborate to Advance Agentic Commerce in India
Bengaluru — September 24, 2026: Pine Labs today announced a strategic collaboration with
Google Cloud to ensure that every Indian merchant, from established enterprises to the new
generation of merchants who are tech-first, fast-growing, and ready to compete on any surface,
is a full participant in agentic commerce.
Agentic AI to Enable Merchants Across the Value Chain
AI agents are already here. They discover products, compare options, and complete purchases
on behalf of consumers, without the consumer ever visiting a website or opening an app. The
merchants who benefit first are the ones whose products are structured and readable by AI
systems, whose inventory is live and accessible, and whose checkout can be completed
automatically. That often describes a large enterprise. It does not yet describe the new generation
of Indian SMBs which is tech-first, fast-growing, and competing on ambition rather than access
to infrastructure.
“Without the right platform, agentic commerce repeats a pattern India has seen before: new
technology reaches the top of the market first, and small businesses wait. Pine Labs is creating
the next generation of agentic commerce products so that does not happen,” said B. Amrish Rau,
CEO, Pine Labs.
By putting Gemini-powered AI agents to work, Pine Labs will be creating a unified ecosystem that
bridges merchant operations, engagement, and payments infrastructure. For India’s SMBs, a
newly developed AI ads agent democratizes marketing by creating and placing high-quality ads
across surfaces such as Search, YouTube, Pine Labs' POS devices, delivering enterprise-level
reach to businesses. Simultaneously, Pine Labs Issuing is building ‘Jarvis’, a multi-agent platform
built on Gemini Enterprise. Jarvis streamlines operations by assisting merchants with program
creation, system diagnostics, and customer support across the Woohoo platform. The result is a
singular, comprehensive Pine Labs experience where AI fuels both day-to-day efficiency and
scalable top-line growth.
The collaboration between Pine Labs and Google Cloud further addresses three specific barriers
that SMBs seeking to participate fully in agentic commerce, face:
1. Discoverability and scalability: If an AI agent cannot read a merchant’s catalog, it cannot
recommend them. But discoverability is only the first step. Pine Labs will offer India’s
SMBs the full customer acquisition stack that is built on Google Cloud's AI and data
infrastructure, as well as AI-powered campaign management, digital presence tools, and
customer targeting capabilities that work across the surfaces where their customers
already spend time.
2. Receiving payment: Pine Labs’ P3P is the payment layer that makes a transaction inside
an agentic flow real-time, compliant, and settled. Starting on UPI and expanding across
payment rails, P3P means a merchant does not need to rebuild their payment setup every
time a new AI surface emerges.
3. Governance: Agentic commerce at scale requires infrastructure that banks and regulators
can rely on. Grantex ensures every transaction that flows through this infrastructure is
auditable and meets India’s financial regulatory requirements.
To power this next-generation agentic commerce solution, Pine Labs will use Gemini Enterprise
Agent Platform for catalog enrichment, search, and the rapid build and deployment of custom
commerce agents. The Pine Labs platform will also offer native integration support for the
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) frameworks, which will enable
seamless, cross-platform transactions.
Building an open ecosystem
“The shift to AI-driven buying is already underway. The question is whether India’s 60 million small
businesses get to be part of it from the start, or wait for infrastructure that was built for someone
else first,” Rau added. “With Google Cloud, we’re building the infrastructure layer that makes this
real for every merchant in India - from established enterprises to the new generation of merchants
who are tech-first, fast-growing, and ready to compete on any surface. We’re talking about the
same rails, the same AI agents and the same access to credit, one commerce operating layer for
every merchant.”
Amit Kumar, Managing Director, Digital Natives Business, Google Cloud India, remarked,
“Addressing the intricate requirements of this market demands a platform capable of deep,
extensive scale, such as Pine Labs. By grounding Pine Labs’ commerce layers in Google Cloud’s
secure, real-time AI and analytics infrastructure, we are empowering merchants throughout India
with the tools needed to be discoverable, trusted, and fully active participants in agentic
commerce.”
