AI and other deep technologies are the prevailing themes in the new early-stage cohort from Peak XV Partners, as the largest India and Southeast Asia-focused VC fund intensifies its search for opportunities in a sector garnering international frenzy.

Ten out of 13 startups in the latest cohort of Surge, Peak XV’s powerfully influential early-stage program, specialize in AI and other deeptech sectors, the fund said on Monday.
