Tracing India’s Telecom Journey This World Telecom Day

India has made significant progress in the field of telecommunications over the last five decades. The country now has the second-largest telecom network and is home to 1.19 billion telecom users. The rapid adoption of internet services, fueled by the availability of 4G and the fierce competition sparked by Reliance Jio's entry, has transformed India into the world's third-largest new-age tech ecosystem. As India celebrates World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2024, the focus is now shifting towards 5G and the future exploration of 6G technology. The government is making efforts to provide internet connectivity to remote areas through satellite communication, and India aims to lead the world in 6G development.

Peak XV’s Shailesh Lakhani and Abheek Anand to step down

Peak XV’s managing partners Shailesh Lakhani, a 17-year veteran of the firm, and Abheek Anand, who co-led investments in Southeast Asia, have decided to step down. Lakhani has confirmed his departure from the venture capital firm through a post on micro-blogging platform X. “As my time at Peak XV/Sequoia India reaches 17.5 years, I’ve decided it’s the right moment to step back from the firm. It has been an incredible journey—one that began in August 2007, when India’s startup ecosystem was in its infancy, to today, where it stands as one of the most vibrant in the world. I wouldn’t have traded this courtside seat for anything,” said Lakhani. Anand has not made an official statement regarding his resignation, but TechCrunch first reported it this afternoon. Lakhani and Anand were appointed as Managing Directors of Peak XV during the company's rebranding from Sequoia Capital. This is a developing story. Stay tuned for updates.
