Two senior partners are leaving Peak XV amid strategy shift


Two senior partners are leaving Peak XV, the largest India-focused venture capital firm, four sources familiar with the matter told TechCrunch.  Shailesh Peak XV partners Shailesh Lakhani and Abheek Anand are leaving the largest India-focused VC firm.

Shailesh Lakhani, a 17-year veteran of the firm, and Abheek Anand, who co-led Southeast Asian investments, are departing, said the sources, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. Lakhani has been behind several successful investments for Peak XV, including beauty brand Minimalist, which last month sold to Hindustan Unilever for $350 million, and public listings of Ixigo and Truecaller. Anand’s portfolio includes edtech startup Cuemath, trade platform Openborder, Indonesian e-commerce company Ula and online grocer Grofers (since sold to Zomato and now the top quick commerce firm in India).
