About Yatra Angel Network
Yatra Angel Network (YAN) is an angel investment group based in Mumbai, founded in 2020. It describes itself as India's first early-stage fintech-focused SEBI registered Category I AIF. It is a group of entrepreneurs and BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) professionals, not a single individual. YourStory lists Pankaj Singh as General Partner.
YAN says its angels contribute more than capital. They also offer subject matter expertise, network, mentorship and potential customer, partner and vendor introductions. It also runs the Fintech Yatra, a road journey to understand the fintech startup ecosystem. It also runs a three-month public-private fintech acceleration program, the India Fintech Accelerator.
Crunchbase records a single fund, AIF (Angel Fund) I. PitchBook lists a 2023 vintage fund, YAN Angel Fund, which targets fintech and plans to invest in 8 to 10 companies. Fund size is not shown in the sources I found.
Tracxn counts 19 portfolio companies across India and Singapore, with its latest listed investment a $4M seed round in Prosperr on Dec 23, 2025. Other recorded rounds include a Series A in OneStack (Mar 2025, per Tracxn data cited by EasyVC) and TartanHQ (Aug 2022, per PitchBook). Counts differ between data providers, so treat the totals as approximate.
YAN is not an AI-specific investor. Its LinkedIn and Crunchbase descriptions say it backs fintech startups in payments, lending, insurance, wealth and inclusion that use disruptive technologies such as AI, ML and data analytics. I did not find public sources that label any specific YAN portfolio company as an AI company.
Stage: LinkedIn describes the focus as early-stage, up to Pre-Series A. Tracxn lists Seed and Series A as stages of investment, and EasyVC lists pre-seed and seed.
Sectors: fintech first. Inc42 also lists enterprise tech and agritech among its investments.
Geographies: India and Singapore, per Tracxn.
YAN says it looks for founders with a financial technology background and demonstrated execution ability, along with great ideas and passion to build viable solutions. It states a preference for long-term partnerships. No check size is public.
