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

The first decisions often shape the longest journeys. ✔️The first product choices. ✔️The first hires. ✔️The first customers. ✔️The first markets. ✔️The design choices and hard decisions that shape everything after. At Surge, we partner with founders at this stage, with up to $5M in seed funding, dedicated investment team, company-building support and a community built for the early journey. If you’re building something truly ambitious, we’d love to hear from you! @madhavchanchani writes about Surge, our approach to seed investing, and what’s next in @thearc_hq .

A special milestone for @helloturtlemint as the company lists on the public markets today. 🔔 Over the last decade, @dhirendranm and Anand Prabhudesai have built patiently in one of India’s most important financial services categories. Insurance is complex, trust-led and deeply local. Turtlemint’s journey shows what can happen when founders combine technology with a real understanding of how India buys financial products. Huge congratulations to Dhirendra, Anand and the entire Turtlemint team! Proud to have been part of the journey. 🎉 @gvravishankar

JustAI is helping marketing teams move from manual campaign execution to autonomous marketing. By bringing together strategy, creative, decisioning and data agents, @getjustai gives marketers a unified system to understand user context, generate campaigns, optimize decisions and continuously learn from results. Huge congratulations to Neha Mittal (@neha01mittal), Jeff Hara (@kchro3) and the JustAI team on their $17M Series A! As Neha puts it: “The real opportunity with AI is not another dashboard or another automation layer. It is giving every great marketer the ability to operate with the leverage of an entire team.” Proud to have partnered with JustAI from @_surgeahead to Series A, and excited to see the team continue building for the next gen of enterprise marketing. 🚀 Read more in Axios: axios.com/pro/enterprise-sof… @RajanAnandan @jessyhtan

We were first investors with Kunal in both Freecharge and @CRED_club and have had a front row seat, watching Kunal create new categories. Cred would not be here without Kunal’s incredible vision and leadership. Cred is in a terrific spot today. With strong market share in core categories, incredible distribution and user love, significant revenue scale, a world class team working together for many years and a rock solid balance sheet. I am excited about the next phase of Cred, which will be about consistent and profitable compounding and an accelerated journey to IPO. Looking forward to working with Miten and the team on this next phase. @peakxvpartners @CRED_club @kunalb11 @miten @mickymalka
It’s been a minute. 2015–2018 - Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing. - Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital. - Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time. 2019–2025 - Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft. - Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour. - Built several products during COVID lockdowns. - Raised $900M from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks. - Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting. - Received a full stack of regulatory licences. - Lost 35 kilos. - Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards. 2026 - First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is) - Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital. - Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback. Today CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role. Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction. Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves. As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally. Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data. While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth. Onwards.

Congratulations @amanrsanger and the entire @cursor_ai team on the incredible $60 Billion SpaceX acquisition. We can't wait to see where Cursor goes from here! We hosted Aman at our Surge US Immersion back in February 2025. At that time, Cursor was sitting at an impressive $100M ARR. Flash forward just 16 months later? $4B ARR. 🤯 An absolute masterclass in scale and speed. We knew you were building something special, but this pace is legendary. Catch our Immersion session video where Aman breaks down how they went from 0 -> $100M within a year, building unbeatable product moats, and more with @RajanAnandan 👇 youtu.be/XBQEdtXjlho?si=R4sV…

India's AI opportunity isn't just about adopting AI: it's about building the full AI stack. 🚀 From day one the team at @SarvamAI has been working on this. Excited to double down on our partnership with @vivekrag (Vivek Raghavan), @pratykumar (Pratyush Kumar) and the team as they build foundational AI capabilities for India: designed for India's unique realities and population-scale needs. Congratulations to the team on this important milestone! 🙌
We're thrilled to announce that we have raised $234M in the first close of our $300M Series B at a $1.5B valuation. @HCLTech and @BessemerVP have joined us in this round, alongside continued support from @khoslaventures and @peakxvpartners For countries and companies, sovereign control on the AI stack is no longer an optionality. Sarvam will be the partner of choice for this aspiration. The capital allows us to accelerate our momentum towards this full stack of models, compute, and deployments. A huge thank you to our customers, partners, investors, and the Sarvam team for your trust and belief in what we are building. We’re just getting started. Read more: sarvam.ai/announcing-series-…
