Data compiled by Longhouse Consulting, a talent advisory firm, shows at least 16 partner and MD-level exits from VC firms in 2024-2025, along with at least 15 additional departures at VP, principal, and C-suite levels.
Peak XV, formerly Sequoia Capital India, accounts for the bulk of the churn. It had as many as 15 partners and managing directors until a few months ago. However, a total of eight partners/MDs have quit the firm in recent months, including three top-level departures earlier this week.
