Simran Mulchandani is CEO and Co-founder of Rangeet, a mobile app featuring a play-based, measurable Social Emotional and Ecological Knowledge (SEEK) curriculum, designed around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. SEEK supports existing curricula and is designed for schools, families and communities to promote the overall well-being and development of children in any environment. Grounded in the science of learning and the understanding that every child learns differently, SEEK helps develop life-long learners and tomorrow’s global stewards.
Simran Mulchandani is also a Director of Generation Blue, a company whose mission is to catalyse an “Earth Positive” or regenerative economy. He served on the board of Singaporean NGO, Global Mangrove Trust, that has built a peer to peer platform for Mangrove Restoration. Earlier, Simran was a Director and Co-Head of Asian operations at Lykke Corp, a Swiss Fintech firm building a marketplace for blockchain assets including the first mangrove backed “TREE” coin. Simran is a member of Earth Pulse, a global network of people, organisations and companies who enable the protection of mother earth.
Through these engagements, positions and networks, Simran is involved in the current dialogue around tackling climate change and consequently translates this into methods and systems that build knowledge and agency amongst children. He does this by collaborating with the curriculum team at Rangeet on the Ecology teaching umbrella which explains to children not just HOW to protect nature but WHY they should. It explains what the root cause of the ecological crisis is i.e. a lack of understanding that nature has value, that nature has not been included in our economic systems and that destroying nature has a real price i.e. negative externalities. Through original games, art, storytelling and songs Rangeet fills children with hope that they can effect change and influence the dialogue and action around social and climate issues.
Simran completed his B.Sc. in Computer Science from Brown University and worked at J.P. Morgan in New York and Singapore. He then began his entrepreneurial journey by running a hedge fund in Singapore, before setting up and running internationally acclaimed live music venture blueFROG in Mumbai, India.
Through Rangeet, Simran hopes to establish a framework in which nature and society are at peace.
