Anandamoy Roychowdhary, a Surge partner at Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India), has left the firm after more than 11 years. His departure marks the second senior-level exit from the venture capital firm within a year.
Roychowdhary joined the firm in February 2013 as Director of Technology and was promoted to Partner at Surge in June 2023. Before transitioning to venture capital, he served as a technology advisor to several of Peak XV’s portfolio companies, including Byju’s.
On his exit, Roychowdhary shared a poetic message on social media, stating, “Petal wafts from the rose, drawn by dreams of mastery. Cedes post- 30 Nov.”
His exit follows that of Piyush Gupta, the former Managing Director of Peak XV, who left earlier this year to start his secondary-focused fund, Kenro Capital. Roychowdhary’s next career move remains undisclosed.
Peak XV has not yet stated Roychowdhary’s departure. The firm, which manages $9.2 billion across 13 funds, continues to focus on investments in India and Southeast Asia, with plans to deploy $2.5 billion of uninvested capital in the region.
