Honoured to join yesterday’s roundtable hosted by @EPSIIndia where leaders from academia, research institutions, and policy bodies came together to discuss the future of India’s research ecosystem and the growing importance of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework in the age of AI. I had the opportunity to present what the DPDP Act means for institutions, and how they should start preparing for the shift ahead. Today, institutions are custodians of massive amounts of student, parent, faculty, research, and behavioural data. With AI becoming deeply integrated into the education journey, data governance can no longer remain only an IT or compliance discussion. It is now becoming a leadership, trust, and institutional readiness agenda. Every process, every workflow, and every structure will need to be re-looked at and prepared accordingly. Institutions that proactively prepare for DPDP will not just stay compliant — they will build stronger trust, stronger digital foundations, and better long-term student experiences. India’s education ecosystem is entering a defining decade where AI, digital infrastructure, and data responsibility will evolve together. Awareness and preparation today will define institutional resilience tomorrow.

A community. A space for real impact. A movement. The AI Edition of #EvolveByMeritto in Hyderabad set the stage for enrollment leaders and experts to connect, learn, and grow. Catch the best moments from this incredible gathering 🚀

The AI Edition of #EvolveByMeritto in Hyderabad was all about big ideas, meaningful conversations, and connections that truly matter. And the best part? We’ve captured it all for you! So come take a look and relive the moments that made it one for the books 🚀

EPSI has been the backbone in keeping the interests of the education sector at the forefront, ensuring that both institutions and students benefit. They consistently lead initiatives to prepare institutions for what is coming next. In that context, I had the opportunity to guide institutions on the DPDP Act-what it truely means for institutions, how they should prepare, and what kind of internal and external questions they should be asking, including the why and how.

At every #EvolveByMeritto chapter, we celebrate the customers who have been part of our journey. At the AI Edition in Hyderabad last week, we recognized those from across the region who have been with us for 5 years on a journey built on trust and shared growth.

Are educational institutions ready for DPDPA? That’s what our #ChiefMeritmaker Naveen Goyal explored yesterday at EPSI AGM in Bengaluru, where we decoded the new data protection framework and what it means for how institutions manage and protect student data 🚀

Today, we celebrate the women who lead, support, inspire, and uplift others every day. Wishing everyone a thoughtful and meaningful Women’s Day❤️

What does DPDP compliance actually demand from institutions? It begins with clarity: on data collection, processing, governance, and accountability. At #EvolveByMeritto Hyderabad, Surya Singh, Sr. VP, Security & Compliance, will decode what education leaders must act on now to build compliant, future-ready systems.

#InNews: Our newly launched Collexo Terminal, a purpose-built UPI fee collection device for education finance counter that brings dynamic QR payments, instant confirmation, and real-time reconciliation into one unified system🚀 Read the full article: m.thewire.in/article/ptiprn…

🚀 Introducing Collexo Terminal - Built for Education Fee Counters 🎓 Over the years, we’ve seen a simple but painful issue at institutions: Payments happen instantly. Reconciliation doesn’t. Finance teams still manually match transactions, track unidentified entries, resolve mismatches, and spend hours during peak admission season just closing the loop. That’s why we built Collexo Terminal. It’s not just another QR or payment device. It’s a student-linked, amount-specific, auto-mapped collection system designed specifically for education workflows. Here’s what changes: ✅ Payment is generated against a specific student record ✅ Amount is predefined ✅ Transaction is auto-mapped to the student ledger ✅ Reconciliation happens in real time ✅ Finance teams don’t chase references later No manual tagging. No unidentified credits. For students & parents - seamless UPI payment at the counter. For institutions - clean books, faster closure, stronger financial discipline. Built for education, not for retail. Excited to roll this out across campuses. Know more lnkd.in/guKaD-5b @merittoofficial @collexoind

Some years are about moving faster. Others are about holding steady. 2025 demanded both. As we continued building across the student lifecycle for institutions globally - from enrollments and payments to campus experiences -millions of journeys and billions of conversations moved through the system quietly, every day. No spotlight. No noise. Just systems doing what they’re meant to do -Scale Because enrollment, when treated as infrastructure, isn’t about moments. It’s about continuity. Its about trust It’s about stability at scale. Scale is easy to admire. Stability is harder to build. It takes discipline, systems thinking, and a lot of unglamorous work behind the scenes. This year wasn’t about chasing noise. It was about building systems that could Hold millions of journeys Carry context across conversations Stay dependable as institutions grow Quietly. Reliably. This wrap is a small glimpse into what enrollment really looks like when it’s designed to endure See how institutions are rethinking enrollment as infrastructure: 👉 lnkd.in/gDprGueD
