โ€œAnother one leaves Peak XV.โ€ But this timeโ€ฆ itโ€™s not just another. Two key team members โ€” Suraj Agarwalla (VP, Growth) and Vedant Trivedi (Surge) โ€” have now exited the firm. This marks the fifth high-profile exit in less than a year โ€” following Shailesh Lakhani, Abheek Anand, Piyush Gupta, and Anandamoy Roychowdhary. Whatโ€™s really going on inside Indiaโ€™s most powerful VC firm? Is this just natural reshuffling after the Sequoia โ†’ Peak XV split? Or are young investors rethinking their career paths altogether? Across the board, mid-level VCs are either turning founders, launching solo funds, or joining startups to drive impact from the ground up. And in a market where fundraising is slow and scrutiny is high โ€” even Peak XV had to cut its growth fund by $465M last year โ€” maybe itโ€™s not just founders who are pivoting. Is the VC dream losing its shine? Or are we witnessing the next evolution of Indian venture capital? Is this the new normal? Or a sign of deeper shifts to come?
