Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Pandor began his career as a model at the age of 20 in 2007 when he contested in the Gladrags Manhunt contest and placed within the top five. He later completed a four-month acting course at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institue in Mumbai, whilst balancing his college studies.

He holds a master's degree in Business and Finance from the University of Mumbai. He is reportedly in a relationship with actress Aahana Kumra.
Pandor made his television debut in 2010 in the second season of the soap opera Kitani Mohabbat Hai, playing the jealous elder brother of the protagonist. Four years later, he made his film debut as a sexual abuser in the thriller W (2014) which centres on the vengeance led by three women against their rapists. He later appeared in a supporting role in the crime series Agent Raghav – Crime Branch, and had a small stint in the long-running family drama Ishqbaaaz. Between 2018 and 2019, he played Bada Badariya in the Netflix crime series Sacred Games. In the following years, Pandor worked across mutiple streaming platforms. He performed as a character actor in the football drama web series Bombers on ZEE5, and thriller Matsya Kaand on MX Player.
