Overview

Peak XV Partners is a venture capital and growth investment firm focused on India and Southeast Asia, formed in 2023 when the India and Southeast Asia operations of Sequoia Capital separated from the global Sequoia brand and became an independent partnership. The firm traces its regional roots to 2006, when Sequoia Capital began investing in India, and it later expanded into Southeast Asia. Under the Sequoia India and Sequoia India & Southeast Asia names, it became one of the most active and influential venture investors in the region, backing companies across technology, consumer internet, financial services, healthcare, software, and other sectors. The firm invests across stages, from early-stage venture rounds to growth equity, and manages multiple funds dedicated to India and Southeast Asia. Its portfolio has included prominent regional and global technology companies, and it has been associated with the development of the startup ecosystems in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Singapore, Jakarta, and other hubs. Peak XV Partners operates as a private partnership and is not listed on a stock exchange. After the 2023 rebrand, Peak XV Partners continued to raise and deploy capital under its own name, maintaining offices in India and Southeast Asia and investing in both local and cross-border opportunities. The firm positions itself as a long-term partner to founders, offering capital, operational support, and access to a broad network across markets. Its leadership has been closely associated with the region's venture capital industry, and the firm remains one of the largest and most recognized venture investors focused on India and Southeast Asia.

History

Peak XV Partners' history is rooted in Sequoia Capital's expansion into India. Sequoia Capital began investing in India in 2006, establishing a local presence that grew into one of the region's most prominent venture capital franchises. Over the following years, the India team expanded its mandate to include Southeast Asia, operating as Sequoia India and later Sequoia India & Southeast Asia. The firm backed companies across technology, consumer internet, financial services, healthcare, and enterprise software, and became a central player in the development of startup ecosystems in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Singapore, and Jakarta. In 2023, Sequoia Capital announced a global restructuring that separated its U.S. and Europe business from its India and Southeast Asia operations. As part of this change, the India and Southeast Asia team became an independent partnership under the new name Peak XV Partners. The rebrand allowed the firm to operate independently while retaining its team, investment strategy, and regional focus. Peak XV Partners continued to manage funds dedicated to India and Southeast Asia and to invest across stages, from seed and early venture to growth equity. The firm has remained one of the largest and most active venture investors in its regions, maintaining offices in India and Southeast Asia and supporting founders with capital, operational expertise, and access to a broad network. Its leadership, including Managing Director Shailendra Singh, has been closely associated with the region's venture capital industry. Peak XV Partners operates as a private partnership and is not listed on any stock exchange.
