Peak XV’s Chief Product Officer Anuj Sahai resigns

Anuj Sahai, Chief Product Officer at Peak XV Partners, has stepped down from his role, adding to a string of recent top-level departures at the venture capital firm.

In a LinkedIn post, Sahai announced his exit, saying, “ After an eventful run as Chief Product Officer at PeakXV, I’m turning the page and looking forward to the next adventure. The role gave me a front-row seat to the startup ecosystem—partnering with founders and ideas that are shaping markets—and hands-on experience with AI technologies. Huge thanks to Peak XV Partners for the opportunity!.”

Sahai had joined Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India & Southeast Asia) in 2023 after building a career leading product and monetization strategies at companies like Flipkart, Ola, Payback, and Yahoo!.

Peak XV Partners has witnessed a series of high-level departures in recent months. In February 2025, managing partners Shailesh Lakhani and Abheek Anand resigned after long stints at the firm, followed by investor Shraeyansh Thakur’s exit in March after nearly a decade. These exits add to an earlier wave of senior-level churn, including the departures of Piyush Gupta, Anandamoy Roychowdhary, and others.
