Peak XV fully exits MobiKwik in ₹130-crore block deal after RBI nod for NBFC licence
Mansi Verma is a senior reporter for Mint covering private equity in India. Think of strategy shifts, private equity and venture capital deals, companies trying to go public, and those that occasionally break up.
He switched to that pace in 2022 and has been following it closely ever since. Before Mint, Mansi worked at Moneycontrol; where he covered jobs and education technology and produced in-depth reports on the 2022-2024 startup and IT layoff cycle. His work during this period focused on what happens to rapidly growing companies when capital dries up and combined financial reporting with human interests.
Mansi reported closely at a critical stage of Byju’s unraveling and has since built a strong understanding of edtech businesses, particularly unicorns, and the deeper structural challenges in education that many are struggling to solve. At Mint, he tracks capital flows between VC and PE deals, exits and IPO pipelines, while also tracking major investment firms and the financial services industry.
Outside of the newsroom, Mansi spends time exploring how technology is changing the way people think and work, while actively trying to build a critically thinking human brain in an age where everything is short.
He holds a master’s degree in journalism and has moderated industry discussions on financial services and investments.
