Peak XV Partners Managing Director Rajan Anandan and Indian Angel Network co-founder Saurabh Srivastava have authored 'The Lift-Off Nation: Why We Are Entering the Golden Age of Indian Startups', published by Juggernaut Books. Drawing on over 180 interviews with founders, CEOs, and policymakers, the book argues India's startup ecosystem reached a combined valuation exceeding $400 billion in roughly a decade. The authors outline five growth drivers: experienced talent from early startups like Flipkart and Zoho, cross-sector innovation, global ambitions, mature public and private capital markets, and proactive government support.
