CEO and Co Founder
Explore by Cialfo and Manifest Global
Rohan Pasari is the CEO and co-founder of Manifest Global; a global education investment firm headquartered in Singapore with teams across the world. Manifest nurtures category-defining brands like Cialfo, Explore, Kaaiser, and BridgeU, all committed to expanding access to higher education by serving students, educators, and institutions across more than 105 countries. With the mission to create a world where every student—regardless of background—can access quality education, Manifest brings together over 250 people across 20 countries united by a simple belief: education changes lives.
Rohan’s journey began in Kolkata, India, and led him to Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, as an international student on a full scholarship, where he graduated as a double Gold Medalist in Engineering and Economics. His entrepreneurial path started with a tech-enabled counseling company, which was later acquired. That experience gave birth to Cialfo—an AI-driven platform simplifying college and career workflows for half a million students and educators worldwide—and eventually laid the foundation for Manifest Global.
Backed by leading investors such as Tiger Global, SIG, Square Peg, SEEK investments, Cercano, DLF Ventures, and others, Manifest has raised USD 80m in total funding to scale its vision and impact.
