Peak XV Partners: Leadership Change
Peak XV Partners Vice President Kriti Gupta is leaving the VC firm after five years. This is the latest in a series of senior departures over two years, including three MDs (Agrawal, Mittal, Sharma) who launched Mettle Capital, and earlier exits by Lakhani and Sethi who launched Ambition Capital.

The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Peak XV Partners's move reshapes the layer beneath it in Banking/Financial Services as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.
Market context: Backdrop: a 104 (Hot) Talent Market Index (down 1.9 on the month) with Asia activity steady (-1pts).
Peak XV Partners: 3 signals in the last 90 days — above the Banking/Financial Services median of 2 across 11 tracked companies; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Americas signal flow; 3 tracked across 82 days.
