Peak XV Throws a Corporate Tantrum, Dumps Partners, and Pretends Everything’s Just Bloody Fine

So, Peak XV – that VC outfit that thinks it’s God’s gift to startups – decided to go through what normal people call “a massive internal shitstorm.” A bunch of partners swanned off after what they’re politely calling “strategic disagreements.” Translation: somebody shouted too hard in a meeting, someone else didn’t like it, and now everyone’s clutching their stock options and legging it for the exits.

The grand PR line? Oh, they’re just “refocusing on AI.” Because apparently, that’s what everyone says when they have no bloody idea what’s going on internally. “Oh look, half the leadership is leaving, but don’t worry — we’re pivoting to AI!” Yeah, because throwing a few billion into anything with the letters ‘A’ and ‘I’ in it will definitely fix your internal civil war.

Meanwhile, the founders they fund are probably watching this like it’s a slow-motion tech soap opera — “As the VC Burns.” The fine folks left at Peak XV are busy writing thought pieces about the future of machine learning while behind the scenes they’re duct-taping the management team back together and pretending that everything’s bloody “synergistic.”

So, yeah. Peak XV’s message to the world: “We’re not imploding, we’re innovating!” And I’d believe that if I hadn’t seen less bullshit coming out of a leaking cattle truck on a hot day.

Reminds me of the time the data center manager quit mid-upgrade, claiming it was for “personal growth.” Yeah, mate, funny how your personal growth happened right after I told you to stop rebooting the production servers. Humans – they break easier than RAID arrays.
