Peak XV Celebrates 20 Years in India, Reveals Billion-Dollar Exits

As of November 2025, India-focused venture capital firm Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India) is celebrating two decades of operations in the country. The firm has seen significant success in recent years, taking home over $3.5 billion in exits from the listing of portfolio companies like Mamaearth, GoDigit, and Mobikwik.

Peak XV's managing director, Shailendra Singh, explains that the early years were challenging, as India's tech ecosystem was still nascent. However, the firm was able to partner with companies that went on to become industry leaders. Over the past decade, the number of Peak XV's portfolio companies crossing $100 million in annual revenue has expanded dramatically, signaling the maturity of the ecosystem.
