New Delhi, Oct 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Leading investment firm Peak XV’s rapid scale-up programme Surge on Monday launched its ninth cohort of early-stage startups innovating in the field of deeptech, artificial intelligence (AI) and other promising areas.
The cohort features 32 founders across 13 startups and “Surge 09” includes two Australian startups, in addition to seven from India and four from South-East Asia.
It is the first cohort since Peak XV’s rebrand from Sequoia India & Southeast Asia, and forays into greater Asia-Pacific expansion with the inclusion of Australia-based startups, the VC firm said in a statement.
“As we kick start new company-building journeys with our ‘Surge 09’ founders, it is clear that we are witnessing the incredible growth of AI and deeptech innovation, as well as the abundant talent in these sectors emerging from Asia,” said Rajan Anandan, Managing Director, Peak XV and Surge.
In this cohort, Mindgrove and InCore are India’s first few semiconductor companies that are poised to play key roles in the country’s ambition to become a global semiconductor hub.
Mindgrove recently became the first Indian firm to join global silicon IP giant Imagination’s Open Access programme.
