Entrackr · 22d

Anandamoy Roychowdhary, a partner at Peak XV's Surge, has left the firm after spending over 11 years at the firm. This marks the second senior-level exit from the venture capital within a year. Roychowdhary joined Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India) in February 2013 as Director of Technology and was promoted to Partner in Surge in June 2023. Before transitioning into investing, he served as a technology advisor to Peak XV’s portfolio companies, including Byju’s. “Petal wafts from the rose, drawn by dreams of mastery. Cedes post Nov 30th,” Roychowdhary shared on the social media platform X. Recently, Piyush Gupta, Peak XV’s former Managing Director, left the firm after seven years to launch his secondary-focused fund, Kenro Capital. Roychowdhary's next move remains unclear. Peak XV has not commented on the development. Last year, Sequoia Capital India was rebranded as Peak XV Partners. The firm continues to manage $9.2 billion across 13 funds and plans to further invest in India and the Southeast Asia region using its $2.5 billion of uninvested capital.
