Every milestone tells a story — and Digiiday 2025 was ours in full colour. On our founding day at The LaLiT Ashok, Bengaluru, we gathered with the very people who have shaped our journey — educators, advisors, institutional leaders, and our own Digii Team.
From the very first line of code to a platform now powering hundreds of thousands of campus journeys, Digii has been built on one belief: transformation begins with people. This year’s celebration wasn’t just about marking a date on the calendar — it was about honouring the trust of institutions, sharing the real stories of change, and unveiling the innovations that will define the smarter campuses of tomorrow.
Opening on a Note of Purpose
The evening began with a powerful reminder from our Founder & CEO, Hemant Sahal:
“Work is nothing but love expressed well.” – Khalil Gibran
With over 125+ team members (a third with us for more than 6 years) and 40+ new institutions joining our network this year, Digii has strengthened its mission — building enterprise-grade education software to help campuses work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.
What’s Next:
- 100+ partner institutions
- New alumni & budget management modules
- DIY AI-enabled onboarding in days instead of months

From IIMBx Digital Learning Foundation, an Initiative of IIM Bangalore, to several other strategic alliances, each partnership reflects a shared commitment to reimagining how education is delivered, experienced, and scaled. Together, these collaborations will extend Digii’s impact beyond campuses, creating smarter learning ecosystems for the future.
