About Ranjit Pawar
Ranjit Pawar is APAC Head at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), according to press coverage of the Sortmyprep round. His LinkedIn profile lists LSEG as his employer, Singapore as his location and Stanford University Graduate School of Business under education.
A recommendation on that profile says he worked on the Reuters Market Light team. It says he led the scaling of editorial and market reporting operations from one Indian state to nearly a dozen, and that this work grew the operations team to over 300 people. The recommendation also says the service expanded to 9 languages. These details come from a third-party recommendation, not from a statement by Pawar himself.
This page covers only the Ranjit Pawar who works at LSEG. Other people with the same name appear in search results, and none of them are included here.
The only angel investment we could confirm is the Sortmyprep pre-seed round in July 2026. Pawar took part as an individual angel alongside Boman Irani (Rustomjee Group), Sameer Mehta (boAt), Subrat Pani (OneAssist) and Rohini Kasturi (HG Insights). We found no public record of other angel investments, a fund, or a syndicate.
Sortmyprep is a Mumbai-based company that builds a vertical AI exam-preparation platform for school students. Its product is a conversational AI tutor called "sorty". The tutor offers 24/7 doubt-solving and an adaptive testing engine that updates study plans.
The round was about $350,000 at pre-seed. Earlier institutional backing came from PIEDS, the business incubator at BITS Pilani. The company said it would use the money to strengthen its AI technology and expand curriculum coverage. The $350,000 is the size of the whole round. Pawar's own cheque has not been disclosed.
With one public deal, we can't state a firm investment thesis. The Sortmyprep investment is a pre-seed round in an AI education company in India, which shows he will back early-stage AI products in that area. He has not made any public statement about check size, stage preferences or what he looks for in founders. Founders should ask him directly.
