Peak XV Vice President Kriti Gupta to Leave After Five Years

The Story in Brief

Peak XV Partners vice president Kriti Gupta will leave the venture capital firm in the coming months after five years, Inc42 reports. Gupta said she plans to take time off before deciding on her next move. The firm said the transition was agreed mutually and thanked her for her contributions.

Gupta joined Sequoia Capital in 2021, before its India and Southeast Asia business became Peak XV Partners in 2023. She focused on early-stage consumer investments. Her exit follows the departure of three managing directors six months ago and extends a leadership reshuffle that has included several senior executives since 2024. Peak XV generated more than Rs 2,480 crore in liquidity from 2025 exits, including Groww, Pine Labs, Wakefit and Urban Company.

The Indian Opinion

The easy narrative is that each senior exit proves Peak XV is in decline. That is too neat. Leadership churn can unsettle a firm, but its recent exits also produced substantial liquidity. The opposite claim, that strong returns make organisational change irrelevant, is equally weak. The sharper test is whether Peak XV can retain investors and build its planned AI-focused bench after these departures.
