To be clear · Merdot is seeking these partnerships. We do not claim any organisation already sponsors or partners with us.

Why partner

Merdot Partnerships is built for organisations that want their support to reach real students and show up clearly in a report.

Real, measurable impact

Your support reaches verified students who genuinely need capable AI to learn · not a vague cause, a specific, countable outcome you can point to.

Grant-ready transparency

Built for review from day one · clear reporting on where support goes and who it reaches, so a CSR, foundation or grant team can defend the spend.

Responsible by design

Privacy-first, fair-use capped, and built in India for Indian students · a program you can put your name behind with confidence.

How partners help

Every contribution follows the same honest path · nothing goes to an unverified recipient, and the outcome is something you can measure.

  1. 1

    A partner steps in

    An organisation contributes AI credits, cloud, funding, reach or expertise.

  2. 2

    We verify students

    Every recipient is a verified student · access is reviewed, not open to anyone.

  3. 3

    A student learns

    Fair-use AI access reaches a learner who could not otherwise afford it.

  4. 4

    Impact you can report

    The outcome is transparent and countable · support you can defend and share.

AI credits become learning

Model credits are spent only on verified students, capped at fair-use, so every rupee of compute goes to genuine learning.

Cloud lets it scale

Infrastructure credits keep the program fast and reliable as it grows toward its target of reaching students across India.

Reach finds the students

Education partners help us find and verify learners who need this most · the reach we cannot build alone.

Funding fills the gap

CSR and grant support covers what credits do not, and is reported transparently so it holds up to review.

Current priorities

These are the specific kinds of support that would move the program forward today. Each is a request · none is secured.

Actively seeking

Open invitation
  • AI model credits or discounted inference from a model provider
  • Cloud compute and storage credits to run the program at scale

Transparency

Support should be defensible. These are the standards Merdot Partnerships is built around.

Clear reporting

We report where support goes and who it reaches, in terms a CSR, foundation or grant team can put in front of a board.

Verified recipients only

Every recipient is a verified student. Access is reviewed and fair-use capped · never open to anyone who signs up.

Grant-ready by design

Built for due diligence from day one · documentation, scope and accountability a reviewer can actually check.

Privacy first

Student data is handled with a privacy-first posture. We share impact, never sell or expose the people behind it.

Where support goes

A planned allocation of contributed support · the intended shape, not a report of funds already raised.

Planned allocation

Planned · target shape
Student AI access75%

Credits + inference for verified students

Reviewing students and keeping it fair

Why Merdot

The difference between money that disappears into a general fund and support you can trace to a student who learns.
