The evening also took a closer look at What Data Security Looks Like in 2025, which reinforced the importance of trust and compliance in student data management. Speaking on the subject, Antriksh Kumar, AGM- Revenue Operations at Meritto said: “As student recruitment becomes increasingly digital, institutions cannot compromise on data security. Trust is no longer optional, it is the foundation on which the entire student journey rests.”
The most anticipated highlight of the evening was the Agentic AI moment for education, showcasing Mio AI, an autonomous suite of AI agents. Taking center stage, Narendra Pal Singh showcased how Mio AI acts as a digital teammate built exclusively for educational organizations. It’s a high-performance industry ready Agentic AI, that works for educational institutions’ student enrollment processes, engagement, and teams.
Speaking at the session, Narendra Pal Singh, Sr. VP- Engineering at Meritto said: “With Mio AI, we are not just building another technology; we are shaping an intelligent partner, a virtual teammate that institutions can rely on to think, act, and evolve with them. It’s about giving education leaders a powerful ally to achieve more with less, while keeping students at the center of every decision.”
The event also featured an inspiring case study of CUTM, which presented its journey of scaling admissions across two universities and seven campuses. Both offered practical frameworks for growth and sustainability, powered by Meritto’s purpose-built platform.
Another exciting innovation showcased was Pixi, the Gen-Z ready, unified student ID card, which further emphasized how institutions can embrace technology to stay future-ready.
Speaking about the vision behind #EvolveByMeritto, Suraj Sapra, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Meritto, said: “From the very beginning, we’ve believed that building communities is just as important as building technology. #EvolveByMeritto is our way of bringing education leaders together to learn, share, and grow as one ecosystem. It’s more than an event, it’s a medium through which we collectively reimagine the future of student enrollment.”
With its Kolkata chapter, #EvolveByMeritto: The AI Edition once again proved to be the definitive platform for bold ideas, breakthrough technologies, and collaborative learning, with Mio AI leading the charge into the next era of education.
