Anandamoy Roychowdhary Departs Peak XV After 11 Years
Roychowdhary joined the firm in February 2013 as Director of Technology and was promoted to Partner at Surge in June 2023
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.
