Aditi Prasad
Aditi Prasad, Co-Founder and COO of Meritus AI, has spent over a decade on one mission: making STEM approachable for girls and under-resourced children. A UNESCO keynote speaker on Girls' Education in STEM (Bangkok, 2017), a two-time TEDx speaker (Chennai and Mumbai) on girls in STEM and coding, and one of 15 Young Societal Leaders honoured worldwide by the Government of Singapore, she has since been recognised with the FICCI FLO Women Entrepreneur Award (2024) and CNBC-TV18's Future Female Forward Award (2023). With co-founder Ramana Prasad she co-developed PictoMath, a screen-free computational-thinking card game, and co-invented Wonder Briks (patent applied), the construction system behind Meritus's Grades 1–5 Math and Science Lab kits. While most EdTech adds screens, Aditi's signature work does the opposite: 100% screen-free kits that build AI-era reasoning in classrooms with no devices — turning a long-standing mission into tools any child can reach.
