What most people call bad luck is just reality catching up and punishing you for your periods of self-disrespect and complacency.

“Down But Not Out” is out today! For two years, I asked founders one question: what was happening on the inside, when from the outside nothing seemed to be moving? Yesterday, everyone who answered was in one room, celebrating their own experiences and learnings from their journeys. Teaching us all a thing or two about persevering in entrepreneurial journeys. Thank you again to @anadianant @avinashraghava couldn't have done it without you guys.

You don’t realize enough how contagious humans are... relentlessly remove the negative. Roger Federer changed his dentist because he was too negative. Cut them out.

The currency that makes any VC Fund or Investor, a great VC is - respect from Founders. Not money, or fund size or their shareholding. Just respect from Founders.

Say Hello to the AI Workforce for the Indian construction industry from @Powerplay_app. The largest proprietary dataset for Indian construction and 5 autonomous vertical AI agents! Tremendous progress made by @IeshDixit @shubham7stark and team from our 5th cohort @_surgeahead!
For the last four years, @Powerplay_app has been focusing on digitizing construction & building a massive operational dataset across 85,000+ projects. Now, they’re turning that data into action with India’s first AI Workforce for construction. 💪🏼 By moving from software that just records activity, to domain-trained AI agents that actually execute complex workflows, they’re setting a new standard for the industry. Great to see this vision come to life. Congrats @IeshDixit, @shubham7stark and the team on your launch! 🚀 manufacturing.economictimes.…

Founders…. raising an Angel, Seed, Series A or any funding for your startup? Don’t accept money just because someone is offering it to you. Remember you are not just raising money, you are adding a permanent shareholder to your cap-table! Make that phone-call to fellow founders. Do that reference check on every investor whom you are signing up with, know what is experience of other founders who have them on their cap-table. Money from any VC is just the same! And difference is the relationships that the partners and team make with founders over the journey. So make that phone call. Thank me later!

Our first fund as @peakxvpartners. $1.3B in new capital, bringing our total capital under management to over $10B. - 400+ active companies - 80+ investments in AI - 35 IPOs On the eve of #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 we are incredibly excited to announce a new set of funds to fuel the ambitions of the boldest founders in India, APAC and beyond. There simply has never been a better time to build. We are all in!
Three New Funds for Exceptional Founders in India, APAC and beyond 🚀 We are pleased to announce the closing of $1.3 billion in new capital commitments across our India Seed, India Venture, and APAC funds. Along with significant uninvested capital in our existing Growth fund, we are excited about our ability to back outlier founders building category defining companies, across multiple stages, as we have done for two decades. We are immensely grateful for the steadfast commitment from our Limited Partners (LPs) for our inaugural Peak XV funds. Many of our LPs are leading non-profit endowments and foundations, and serving them adds a special meaning to our work. We understand every fundraise is a responsibility to the founder ecosystem and to our LPs, and we are relentlessly committed to serving them. This is the most exciting time we have witnessed in our lifetimes. AI is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace, and while the initial breakthroughs were concentrated in Silicon Valley, AI opportunities are now abundant in India and APAC. The size, scale and sophistication of technology startups is deeply inspiring across both India and APAC. India’s FinTech ecosystem is already one of the most advanced in the world and the Consumer opportunity has decades of compounding ahead. The combination of technical innovation, deepening markets, quality of talent and increasing global ambition makes this an amazing time to be investing in the region. For those special founders who have a vision to change how something works and who combine ambition with execution, hustle with resilience and who wish to serve the world ahead of themselves, we are here to partner with you. 🙌 @sjs_day1 @mobhat @gvravishankar @RajanAnandan @i_sakshichopra @rohitagar_wal @abhishek_mohan
