**Exclusive: Ambak starts Series A round with Rs 69 Cr funding led by Peak XV and Z47** Home loan startup Ambak has kicked off its Series A round with Rs 69 crore (approximately $7.84 million) co-led by existing backers Peak XV Partners and Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners) with the participation of DeVC and others. This comes after the company announced $7 million in funding in January 2025 through a combination of Seed and Pre-Series A rounds led by Peak XV Partners. According to its regulatory filing with the RoC, Ambak’s board has issued 3,111 Series A CCPS and 10 equity shares at an issuance price of Rs 2,20,405.6 per share to raise the above-mentioned amount. Peak XV Partners and Z47 co-led the tranche with Rs 26.62 crore or $3 million each, followed by DeVC India and Advantage Technology Fund who invested Rs 6.65 crore and Rs 6.28 crore respectively. Calabasas Ventures, AngelList, Sushmita Mathur, Ojaswa Sharma, Anil Kumar Goteti, and others contributed the remaining amount. According to Entrackr’s analysis, the company’s valuation has surged by over 76% to Rs 450 crore ($51 million) post-money, compared with its Rs 255 crore valuation in the previous round. Founded in 2023, Ambak streamlines the home loan process through a transparent three-step system that matches customers with the right financiers using Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and bank rule engines. Its tech-driven, assisted model simplifies workflows for both borrowers and lending partners. Following the latest infusion, Peak XV remains the largest external shareholder with a 14.9% stake, followed by Surge Ventures and Z47 at 13.95% and 6.25% respectively.

Peak XV closes $1.3 Bn fund for India and APAC

Peak XV Partners on Friday announced the closing of $1.3 billion in fresh capital commitments across its India Seed, India Venture, and Asia Pacific funds. This is the firm’s first fundraise since its separation from Sequoia Capital. In a post on X, Peak XV Partners said the new capital, along with uninvested capital from its existing growth fund, will strengthen its ability to back founders building category-defining companies across multiple stages. The firm said it continues to focus on supporting outlier founders, a strategy it has followed for over two decades. The announcement comes as Peak XV sees increasing opportunities driven by artificial intelligence across India and the broader Asia Pacific region. The firm said that while early AI breakthroughs were concentrated in Silicon Valley, the opportunity set has expanded, supported by improving market depth, talent quality, and global ambition among startups in the region. In an interview with ET, Peak XV Partners managing director Shailendra Singh said the firm will continue to invest across seed, venture, and growth stages, writing cheques ranging from single-digit million dollars to $100 million, while sharpening its cross-border strategy to build an India-APAC corridor. The latest fundraise follows Peak XV’s 2022 announcement of $2.85 billion in growth and venture capital commitments for India and Southeast Asia, with $2 billion allocated to India. The firm later reduced the fund size by 16 percent in 2024, citing elevated public market valuations in India. The fundraise also comes at a time when several Peak XV portfolio companies are seeing public market momentum. Meesho, Groww, and Pine Labs have listed, while Zetwerk, Curefoods, and Infra.Market are preparing for initial public offerings. Since its split from Sequoia Capital, Peak XV has backed startups including Scapia, RapidCanvas, Sarvagram, Atlys, Mokobara, Stable Money, GoodScore, and Sarvam AI.
