New York, United States, March 12, 2025 -- Zycus, a global leader in AI-powered procurement solutions, has marked a historic moment in procurement technology with the grand unveiling of its Merlin Agentic Platform (MAP). To commemorate this technological milestone, the company's latest innovation was prominently displayed on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square highlighting Zycus's bold vision for the future—ushering in the Agentic AI era, where AI agents autonomously drive procurement operations, delivering unparalleled efficiency, savings, and strategic value. Speaking about the significance of this launch, Aatish Dedhia, Founder & CEO of Zycus, stated, 'Traditional AI automates predefined tasks, but Agentic AI takes a quantum leap—it enables true autonomy in procurement. With AI agents handling execution, procurement leaders can focus on innovation, resilience, and delivering deep value.' Later that evening, Zycus hosted an exclusive event at The Skylark, Times Square, bringing together customers and senior procurement leaders to celebrate the launch and explore the potential of Agentic AI in driving procurement innovation and efficiency.

This ensures that business users receive what they need without navigating complex procurement policies. While, Merlin Autonomous Negotiation Agent (ANA) is reshaping tail spend management, independently negotiating contracts, and obtaining additional savings on low-value purchases. With these AI-driven capabilities, Zycus is pioneering the future of procurement, where humans and AI agents work in harmony to maximize efficiency, agility, and compliance.
