Incredible energy at @TechCrunch Disrupt this morning!
Our MD Shailendra Singh joined the Builders Stage for a conversation on the evolving funding landscape and what it takes to build breakout companies.
“A few special companies can break out, and then the dispersion is very high on the terms you might get, how much capital you can raise and at what terms.”
Great to see these conversations on stage as the ecosystem continues to evolve @sjs_day1 @peakxvpartners
Thank you @DominicMadori for hosting an incredible discussion.
The Lift Off Moment is here and now! Massive congratulations @RajanAnandan Lift-Off Nation is out in the world 🚀😊
Very few people can bring together the worlds of capital, policymaking and R&D quite like Rajan Anandan.
What makes Lift Off Nation so special is the perspective Rajan brings to what it will take to build a truly ambitious innovation ecosystem, and how these three forces can come together to help India lift off.
Super stoked for the world to finally read Lift Off Nation by @RajanAnandan and @TheSaurabhSri . 🚀
And feeling incredibly grateful to have been among the first few people to read it ahead of the launch.
Can’t wait for this conversation to take off

Ready. Lift-Off Nation
🚀 @RajanAnandan believes India will have its first $100 billion venture-funded company by 2030. Today, it doesn't have a single one.
💰 What makes the bet even bolder is the money. Last year, the world poured around $450 billion into startups, and only $12 billion of it came to India. That's less than three cents of every venture dollar, for the world's third-largest startup ecosystem.
🤔 So how does a country lift off on so little fuel? And where will that first $100 billion company come from?
🎙️ Peak XV Partners' Rajan Anandan and veteran investor Saurabh Srivastava, co-authors of 'Lift-Off Nation', join Shereen Bhan on Young Turks Reloaded.
📺 Full episode drops Thursday | 6:30 PM

Every bull cycle founders and VC’s quickly grow an ego 🤷♂️
(Perceived) success amplifies self belief and over confidence
Every bear cycle humility returns 🙌🏻
Venture markets are highly cyclical. People forget each cycle :)
Many people agree but believe this doesn’t apply to them 😅
Excited to see our fearless leader @sjs_day1 take the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco.
He’ll be sharing his perspective on the forces shaping the next generation of startups, founders and technology, and what it takes to build enduring companies in this rapidly evolving landscape.
If you’re at Disrupt, don’t miss this one. 🚀
What will it take to raise a Series A in the next funding cycle?
We’re really looking forward to @TechCrunch Disrupt next week in San Francisco, where some of the world’s most ambitious founders, investors and builders will come together to exchange ideas and explore what’s next! 🚀
Our Managing Director, Shailendra Singh (@sjs_day1), will join Jahanvi Sardana (@jahanvisardana9) of Index Ventures and Janelle Teng Wade (@NextBigTeng) of Bessemer Venture Partners for a conversation on “The Series A in 2027.”
What will it take to raise a Series A next year? From the metrics that matter to evolving fundraising playbooks, the panel will explore what founders need to know as they prepare for their next stage of growth.
If you’re an early-stage founder attending Disrupt, join us at the Builders Stage on 14th October, 9:30–10:10 AM PT. ✨

Powering India’s semicon ambition! @gvravishankar @peakxvpartners 🔥
A lot of semiconductor horsepower around one dinner table last night.
No fish, but plenty of Chips! 😀 @peakxvpartners @AgraniLabs @C2iSemi @incoresemi
🚀 Introducing Surge12!
Really excited to see this one out in the world.
18 companies. A wonderfully diverse cohort. And ideas spanning some very different parts of our lives.
From how we date, create, educate and hire to how we consume music, build with AI and connect to satellites, these founders are tackling problems across consumer, enterprise, technology and, all with the ambition to build for the world.
Thrilled to see the launch featured in @TechCrunch Thank you @JagmeetS13 @_surgeahead @RajanAnandan @sjs_day1
Thirteen of the 18 startups in Peak XV’s latest Surge cohort are targeting global markets, while more than half are based in India.

One of the most engaging conversations at #GFF, with @i_sakshichopra from @peakxvpartners XV in a very engaging and honest conversation with @AnupamMittal on building enduring businesses, founder ambition, and the role of capital in turning big ideas into reality!

Thank you @samidhas for a super engaging panel! Always great to partner with @ETFrontRow @VinodMahantaET @pranavmukul @tankots @sjs_day1 at #ETWorldLeaderaForum
“The way companies are being built in this AI cycle is fundamentally different. The speed of execution, the quality of talent and the ambition of the best founders are all operating at a completely different” - @sjs_day1 @ETFrontRow @samidhas @VinodMahantaET #ETWorldLeadersForum
Thank you, @FortuneIndia, for sharing our story!
20 years of investing in India and we believe our best years are still ahead of us. Across geographies and sectors, we’re excited to meet the most audacious founders building companies for global maxima.
As our fearless leader @sjs_day1 always says, “Let’s raise the bar.” 🚀
Here’s to the next 20. @mobhat @gvravishankar @i_sakshichopra @rohitagar_wal @RajanAnandan @abhishek_mohan @Harshal_Kamdar @SaiSarangan @abraham_mohit
Two decades of investing, and in many ways we’re just getting started. The latest Fortune India story reflects on our firm's journey of backing ambitious founders, building enduring companies and believing in extraordinary opportunities.
What excites us most isn't simply what we've built over the last 20 years. It's what lies ahead. As the founders we back set their sights on global maxima, we're growing alongside them, advancing our own capabilities to mirror theirs.
With the evolution across AI, fintech, consumer, and deeptech frontiers, our belief is strengthened: the most consequential companies are still ahead of us. The best is yet to come.
Thank you @FortuneIndia, Sourav Majumdar (@TheSouravM) & Manu Balachandran (@MBalachandran88) for capturing our evolution: fortuneindia.com/amp/story/l…
