Why Immigration Merit Lab Exists
Meritocrat is an evidence-driven platform designed to bring clarity to complex, high-stakes professional and immigration journeys. Built by founders with firsthand experience navigating extraordinary ability pathways, Meritocrat focuses on structuring merit, documenting impact, and aligning real work with legal and professional standards. The platform emphasizes explainable outcomes, helping individuals and attorneys understand strengths, gaps, and readiness before critical decisions are made.
Founded by Ramprasad Ohnu and Kumaresh Tanthullu, Meritocrat reflects years of experience across enterprise technology, legal preparation, and long-term professional growth. Rather than promising instant results, the platform supports patient, informed journeys where evidence, structure, and transparency guide strategy. Meritocrat serves professionals, attorneys, and organizations that value clarity before outcomes and merit built over time.
This publication is hosted on Substack, a third party service that supports our newsletters, community chat, archives, and paid content. This gives us a stable space to share knowledge while the Meritocrat platform focuses on evaluation, scoring, and evidence structuring.
