Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
Peak XV Partners is the leading venture and growth firm across India and Southeast Asia, operating independently since its 2023 separation from Sequoia Capital. It manages roughly $9 billion across 13 funds and has backed over 440 companies in 19 years, producing 39 unicorns and more than two dozen public listings, including Zomato, Meesho, Groww and Wakefit. In early 2026 it raised about $1.3 billion across three vehicles — an India seed fund, an India venture fund and an APAC fund — with most capital earmarked for India. Peak XV runs a full-stack model spanning seed to pre-IPO. Its Surge program (launched 2019) gives early-stage founders up to $3 million in seed capital plus company-building workshops and a global operator community; over 170 startups and 400+ founders have gone through it. Series A cheques typically range $8–16 million, with deep follow-on reserves for winners. The team of ~89, including 16 partners across Bengaluru and Singapore, is led by Shailendra Singh and is increasingly focused on AI and cross-border opportunities. With one of Asia's largest portfolios and an integrated seed-to-IPO platform, Peak XV remains the default institutional partner for the region's most ambitious technology founders.
