About Us The Story of Academic Alerts
At Academic Alerts, we believe academic discovery should be pure, credible, and frictionless. Born out of our own firsthand struggles with predatory conferences and fragmented research updates, we set out to build the definitive trusted ecosystem for global scholarly events.
With rigorous verification protocols, institutional backing from MAHE Manipal (MUTBI), and a deep commitment to researchers worldwide, we make discovering, hosting, and attending academic conferences transparent, credible, and inspiring.

From Personal Frustration to Global Academic Standard
How our team of professors and researchers tackled the predatory conference epidemic, building a global platform trusted by thousands of scholars.
Faced Fake Events Issue Ourselves
As active researchers and medical academicians, our founders repeatedly encountered the menace of predatory conferences, cloned websites, and fake CFP dates. We saw colleagues lose grant funds and precious research time to unverified organizers.
Curating Lists & Sharing with Peers
We took matters into our own hands. We began manually vetting genuine conferences, verified symposiums, and legitimate calls for papers in spreadsheets, sharing them weekly with university colleagues across departments.
Pitched the Vision & Built First MVP
With overwhelming encouragement from faculty, we pitched the concept to MUTBI (MAHE Manipal). We secured official incubation, wrote the first lines of code, and built the Minimum Viable Product.
Incorporated & 1,000+ Scholar Community
Incorporated as Acadnetica Solutions Private Limited. We officially launched Academic Alerts to the public, establishing verification standards and building an organic community of over 1,000+ active researchers and scholars.
