Extreme affordability is the biggest unlock for AI adoption in India. Today, @Avataar launched Varya, with support from the #IndiaAIMission: India’s first distilled video model, demonstrating that AI video can be made 10x more efficient. Built for India’s scale: ⚡ 4 generation steps vs 50 for Wan 2.2 🎥 5-sec 720p video in 45 secs vs 1,230 secs 💸 ₹0.48/sec hosted price 🚀 10x faster, at a fraction of the cost The core differentiation for Indian models will be affordability, localization and cultural relevance. Huge congratulations @AluruSravanth and team! 👏 Read more in @TechCrunch 👇 techcrunch.com/2026/06/11/ch… @officialIndiaAI @secretarymeity @goi_meity @RajanAnandan @brettsingh

The company you keep on the climb matters as much as the summit. Feeling grateful for the people at Peak XV Partners who make it possible to contribute, learn, and play a small part in some very big ambitions @sjs_day1 @mobhat @gvravishankar @RajanAnandan @i_sakshichopra ❤️🙏🏼
Three years ago today, we rebranded as Peak XV (Peak Fifteen), the original name of Mount Everest. The name speaks directly to our ambition: to aim for the highest peak there is, and to partner deeply with world-class founders making the climb. Over the last few years, we have continued to evolve, expanding our presence across regions, deepening our work in AI and deeptech, and partnering with founders building for global maxima. Today, we are unveiling a refreshed brand identity and website that reflect this evolution while staying rooted in the values and beliefs that define us. Our new logo and visual system are inspired by Everest and the climb itself: the rugged terrain, the essential tools, and the shared discipline, resilience, and belief required to reach the summit. Explore our new look at peakxv.com and watch our latest brand film below. We're as optimistic about the future as we've ever been. Never settle in the foothills. @sjs_day1 @RajanAnandan @i_sakshichopra @abhishek_mohan @mobhat @gvravishankar @rohitagar_wal

🚨 #FortuneIndiaStartupSummit2026 | “Quality growth is not just about scale—it is about real product-market fit. If consumers see value, come back repeatedly and drive organic word-of-mouth, that is true quality growth. The metrics we watch closely are repeat usage and organic traction. What has fundamentally changed in India is the speed of value creation—companies are scaling much faster, driven by digital payments, rising consumer spending and accelerating adoption. India’s growth story is only getting started,” says Mohit Bhatnagar, Managing Director, Peak XV Partners.

🚨 #FortuneIndiaStartupSummit2026 | “To adopt and adapt, you need founders who can build enduring companies. A few founders will use the AI opportunity to reinvent themselves completely. AI is definitely an enabler—another powerful tool, and a positive sign.

Learning from the very best @peakxvpartners @sjs_day1 🙌🏼
🔥 🎬 Our first drop of the talks from our Peak XV & @_surgeahead Immersion is live now - featuring Sequoia Capital, Vanta, and Linear. Here's a snippet of Alfred Lin (@Alfred_Lin), Partner at @sequoia, on what makes for outlier founders and why you can’t pattern-match them. Our founders came back from these three days recharged, with new ideas, sharper thinking, and a higher bar for what great looks like. We hope these do the same for you. 👉 Check out the playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

We wrapped up Peak XV | @_surgeahead Immersion last week with Day 3 starting with an incredible session with @Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk (@nathanblec). The biggest takeaway for founders? Survival is a creative act. Before the $80B market cap, there were: ✅ Pitch meetings where investors literally walked out mid-sentence. ✅ $40,000 in credit card debt. ✅ A $40 cereal box "hack" to pay the rent. The difference between a failed experiment and an iconic brand? Refusing to quit when the "math" doesn't make sense yet.

Hearing @Alfred_Lin in conversation with @sjs_day1 last evening was a masterclass in long-term thinking and founder-first conviction. From Airbnb to DoorDash to now at @peakxvpartners I’ve been fortunate to build alongside and learn from leaders who think in decades, not quarters. Grateful for rooms like this! #letsgobuild 🚀

Grateful to our Limited Partners for giving us the opportunity to continue to pursue our mission of enabling outlier founders to build the companies of the future 🚀 Excited for the decade ahead …
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
