After 13 years at @peakxvpartners / Sequoia Capital India, I have decided to take the entrepreneurial plunge. I am excited to be teaming up with longtime partners @Ishaanmittal2 and @tejeshwi_sharma to start a new venture capital firm.
I am deeply grateful to all my partners - @sjs_day1, @mobhat , @gvravishankar, @RajanAnandan, @i_sakshichopra, and @rohitagar_wal - for a truly wonderful partnership. These years have shaped me not just as an investor, but also as a person. Today, the firm is stronger than ever - the next generation of investors, the operating leaders, and teams are exceptional. I thank all of them for their support over the years.
It has also been an incredible privilege learning from Michael Moritz and Doug Leone, and the entire Sequoia leadership. Few institutions have refined the model for venture capital as thoughtfully as Sequoia, and it is an inspiration as we think about building our firm.
The last few years have given me a ringside view of the best in entrepreneurship. Watching @_groww, one of the first investments I led, become the second most valued new-age public company in India has been extraordinary to witness first hand.
Over time, I led ~20 others including Agrani Labs, @ambak_official, @Clarisights, @hellodezy, @Eduvanz_Finance, @gokwik, @LeapFinanceIn, @lightmetrics, @MSE_Exchange, @OnFinance_ai, @OrbitShift_AI, @OsfinAI, @PagarBook, @PayGlocalHQ, @getplumhq, @PristynC , @progcap, Stanza Living, @toddle_edu, @Wobot_ai, and @Zanskar Research. I am deeply thankful to all the founders who trusted me to be a part of their journeys.
I am especially thrilled to be starting up with the two partners I have shared much of my life with. TJ and I have known each other for 13 years. Ishaan and I go back over 28 years - we were one year apart in middle school :) Together, we look forward to building a venture capital firm that supports the ambitions of the next generation of founders.

Our CFO asked me to "audit" our software subscriptions last week.
He sent me a spreadsheet with 200 rows. Slack, Zoom, Jira, Notion, Trello, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
He wanted me to survey the team to see which tools were essential.
I told him: "Surveys are for people who care about feelings. I care about OpEx."
I deleted the spreadsheet.
Instead, I logged into the corporate Amex portal and reported the card as lost.
Every single auto-renewal in the company failed instantly.
I call this "The Scream Test."
It’s simple Darwinian procurement.
If a tool goes down and nobody runs to my desk screaming within 4 hours? We didn't need it.
The Marketing team was at my door in 10 minutes begging for Adobe. We renewed it. The Sales team was crying about the CRM in 20 minutes. We renewed it.
But here’s the interesting part.
The HR department’s "Employee Wellness & Engagement Portal" ($12,000/year) has been down for six days.
Not a single person has noticed.
I didn't just save money. I quantified the exact value of our corporate culture.
It is zero.
Stop auditing. Start unplugging. If it’s important, they’ll scream. If they don't scream, it’s just noise.

IndiaMart has survived for over 25 years by refusing to get fancy - no AI recommendations, no complex bidding systems, no trying to own transactions end-to-end. Instead: "Here are suppliers for what you're looking for. Contact them."
While competitors tried building full-stack B2B marketplaces"with payments, logistics, credit - and burned through cash - IndiaMart stayed a directory - boring, profitable and impossible to disrupt.
Why? Because Indian SMEs don't want platforms managing their purchases. They want contact information, then they'll handle the relationship themselves. IndiaMart understood this from day one and 25 years later, that constraint is still true.

@PRSundar64 SEBI: 'We need to reduce risk for investors.'
Also SEBI: Triggers a 10% crash in the country's most stable bank by forcing a rebalance.
Task failed successfully. 📉🤷♂️

Amount of agenda news/articles we get is so underestimated.

NEW: Semafor reports that AI critics such as Future of Life Institute, which is funded by Vitalik Buterin, pay to embed journalists within news organizations, such as NBC News, Bloomberg, Time, The Verge, and Los Angeles Times, to write stories about AI.

@AkasaAir Reply in public as your dms are not helping. No one is reaching out. Your manager is not on the counter and has been waiting for him for the last 30 minutes. Will miss my meeting , either give me a refund or immediate next flight.

@AkasaAir flight is at 6:30. When are you planning to allocate seat and share boarding pass.
Your customer doesn't have clue and dgca guidelines are not followed at all. @DGCAIndia

English

@AkasaAir When you over sell you don't issue a boarding pass at all.
Your team doesn't print boarding pass and is killing time so that gates close.
Please issue me refund so that I can take another flight and teach my destination
