🚀 Introducing Surge12!
Really excited to see this one out in the world.
18 companies. A wonderfully diverse cohort. And ideas spanning some very different parts of our lives.
From how we date, create, educate and hire to how we consume music, build with AI and connect to satellites, these founders are tackling problems across consumer, enterprise, technology and, all with the ambition to build for the world.
Thrilled to see the launch featured in @TechCrunch Thank you @JagmeetS13 @_surgeahead @RajanAnandan @sjs_day1
Thirteen of the 18 startups in Peak XV’s latest Surge cohort are targeting global markets, while more than half are based in India.

One of the most engaging conversations at #GFF, with @i_sakshichopra from @peakxvpartners XV in a very engaging and honest conversation with @AnupamMittal on building enduring businesses, founder ambition, and the role of capital in turning big ideas into reality!

“The way companies are being built in this AI cycle is fundamentally different. The speed of execution, the quality of talent and the ambition of the best founders are all operating at a completely different” - @sjs_day1 @ETFrontRow @samidhas @VinodMahantaET #ETWorldLeadersForum

Thank you, @FortuneIndia, for sharing our story!
20 years of investing in India and we believe our best years are still ahead of us. Across geographies and sectors, we’re excited to meet the most audacious founders building companies for global maxima.
As our fearless leader @sjs_day1 always says, “Let’s raise the bar.” 🚀
Here’s to the next 20. @mobhat @gvravishankar @i_sakshichopra @rohitagar_wal @RajanAnandan @abhishek_mohan @Harshal_Kamdar @SaiSarangan @abraham_mohit
Two decades of investing, and in many ways we’re just getting started. The latest Fortune India story reflects on our firm's journey of backing ambitious founders, building enduring companies and believing in extraordinary opportunities.
What excites us most isn't simply what we've built over the last 20 years. It's what lies ahead. As the founders we back set their sights on global maxima, we're growing alongside them, advancing our own capabilities to mirror theirs.
With the evolution across AI, fintech, consumer, and deeptech frontiers, our belief is strengthened: the most consequential companies are still ahead of us. The best is yet to come.
Thank you @FortuneIndia, Sourav Majumdar (@TheSouravM) & Manu Balachandran (@MBalachandran88) for capturing our evolution: fortuneindia.com/amp/story/l…

Thank you @HimanshiET and @EconomicTimes for this very engaging podcast with @RajanAnandan & @pratykumar on all things AI. A must listen for anyone building in India 🇮🇳
Sarvam AI is taking its foundational AI bet into compute, inference and enterprise applications. The next step is showing how its technical capabilities can translate into a sustainable business.
Rajan Anandan (@RajanAnandan) and @SarvamAI's co-founder Pratyush Kumar (@pratykumar) unpack the economics of voice AI, enterprise adoption and competing in a capital-intensive market. They also explore how specialized models could offer a more cost-effective alternative to global frontier systems in a conversation hosted by @EconomicTimes.

All of us at @peakxvpartners are incredibly excited to partner with @tankots , @SahajGarg6 and the entire @WisprFlow team. They’re building at an extraordinary pace and are truly on fire 🔥@sjs_day1 👏 🚀
There are some products you try once and immediately wonder how you worked without them. @WisprFlow is one of those.
We’ve heard the same thing from founders, their teams and our own colleagues: it makes communicating faster, easier and more natural, whether you’re writing an email, sending a message or simply getting work done.
That’s why we’re excited to share that Peak XV has joined Wispr Flow’s Series B 🙌
Congratulations to Tanay Kothari (@tankots), Sahaj Garg (@SahajGarg6) and the entire team. We’re excited to partner with you as you build the future of how we work.

What a proud moment for India 🇮🇳! Massive congratulations @SkyrootA 👏💥
ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

ISM 2.0 is a significant step toward building a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem in India.
We welcome the vision and leadership of Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw (@AshwiniVaishnaw), Shri S Krishnan (@SecretaryMEITY), and Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY & CEO, ISM, in driving this effort. 🇮🇳
As @RajanAnandan highlights in his interview with @CNBCTV18Live, India’s opportunity spans the full value chain—chip design, IP, talent, manufacturing, and ecosystem—and can produce globally competitive semiconductor companies.
