BENGALURU: After a two-year stint as chief product officer at Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India & SEA), Anuj Sahai is charting a new course. Sahai, who announced his exit this week, said the role offered him a ringside view of the startup ecosystem and hands-on experience with artificial intelligence.
Sahai, who has held senior posts at Walmart Global Tech, Ola, Flipkart, Payback and Yahoo!, is now advising early-stage founders on tech stacks, workflows and agentic AI. “I’ll be recharging and reflecting over the next few months while exploring new opportunities,” he said, inviting connections from entrepreneurs and investors alike.
Over a two-decade career, Sahai has built a track record of scaling digital businesses: he led Walmart’s US marketplace product team to a significant share of e-commerce revenues, launched Flipkart’s advertising platform into India’s No 2 ad business within 15 months, and forged landmark partnerships for Ola Play.
For now, the industry will be watching which venture the product veteran picks as his next big play.
