I am deeply grateful to Peak XV / Sequoia India for taking a chance on me, a starry-eyed 25-year-old, in 2012. It has been an extraordinary journey, marked by lifelong friendships, learning the craft of venture capital, and the privilege of working alongside world-class founders building enduring companies. Time has brought perspective and humility, even as the courage to dream has only grown stronger. I am stepping away from @peakxvpartners to pursue the biggest dream of my life: Building a new venture capital firm with my partners, and friends of nearly 15 years, Ashish @dvbydt and Ishaan @Ishaanmittal2. When I began in venture capital, India’s digital economy was still fledgling. It hasn’t always been rainbows and unicorns, there were many overcast moments. Through it all, I had the unwavering support and the wise counsel of my partners @sjs_day1 @gvravishankar @mobhat @i_sakshichopra @RajanAnandan @rohitagar_wal. I am deeply indebted to them. It has been an honour to work with everyone at the firm. I feel fortunate to have learned from Sequoia’s investment philosophy, cultural values, and long-term orientation. Thank you Mike and Doug for the constant inspiration. Being early partners to founders at @AtlanHQ @chargebee @FloBizOfficial @HevoData @Hightouch @MedGenomeLabs @moglix @saas_labs @getscapi @whatfix has been the greatest privilege. As several of these companies approach or surpass $100M in revenues and chart their path toward an IPO, the dreamer in me is convinced the time is right to double down on entrepreneurship in India. Coming back to my next chapter. Ashish and I have known each other for over 13 years. Ishaan and I first met nearly two decades ago as college tennis partners, and all of us have worked together for more than a decade. Building something together is special! We aspire to build an enduring venture capital firm that helps catalyse the next generation of entrepreneurship in India.🙏🙏🙏
