Project SATHI, a collaboration between MICA | The School of Ideas and Digii, captures how higher education institutions across India are modernizing campuses, embracing technology, and enhancing learning experiences. By blending creativity with digital infrastructure, this initiative showcases real stories of innovation, driving meaningful outcomes for students, faculty, and institutions alike.
Project SATHI: Redefining Higher Education through MICA × Digii
Project SATHI is rooted in MICA’s legacy of creative storytelling and Digii’s expertise in digital campus solutions. Together, the collaboration seeks to capture real-world experiences of higher education institutions that are leveraging technology to drive meaningful outcomes. By documenting and sharing these stories, the initiative aims to inspire other institutions, foster dialogue between stakeholders, and accelerate the adoption of digital tools across campuses.
Higher education institutions are at the forefront of shaping India’s knowledge economy. As the country works towards its vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, campuses must evolve to equip students with the skills, adaptability, and digital fluency needed to thrive in an interconnected world. Project SATHI spotlights institutions that are successfully navigating this journey, showcasing how technology, when combined with creativity, can transform learning environments and institutional processes.
Spotlighting Transformation Across Campuses
Through Project SATHI, institutions can share their journeys of adopting innovative solutions for administration, learning, and student engagement. From automating academic workflows and digitising administrative processes to enhancing student support systems and leveraging data for decision-making, these stories highlight the tangible impact of technology on campus operations.
Some of the key objectives of Project SATHI include:
- Capturing real stories of transformation: Documenting how institutions are modernising processes and improving student outcomes.
- Showcasing innovation in learning and administration: Highlighting digital tools that simplify operations and make education more engaging.
- Fostering dialogue and trust: Building connections between institutions, technology providers, and other stakeholders to share insights and best practices.
- Amplifying leadership insights: Sharing experiences and perspectives from educators and administrators who are driving change in higher education.
By focusing on outcomes rather than technology for its own sake, Project SATHI demonstrates that digital adoption is most effective when it enhances learning, empowers faculty, and creates a seamless experience for students.
How the Initiative Works
Project SATHI will bring these narratives to life through videos, blogs, and social media content, capturing the stories of institutions, faculty, and students who are reimagining higher education. These stories are designed to be both inspirational and actionable, offering practical insights into how campuses can leverage technology to improve efficiency, engagement, and impact.
The initiative also encourages collaboration between institutions and technology partners in a neutral and transparent manner, fostering an ecosystem where learning, innovation, and trust coexist. By highlighting successful adoption and measurable outcomes, Project SATHI aims to set benchmarks for institutions aspiring to become digital-first campuses.
Looking Ahead
The first story under Project SATHI is set to go live in October 2025. Over the coming months, MICA and Digii will continue to identify and share compelling narratives that showcase how Indian higher education institutions are embracing technology to redefine the student experience, enhance learning outcomes, and improve administrative efficiency.
With Project SATHI, MICA and Digii are not only documenting transformation—they are actively shaping the future of higher education by demonstrating how creativity and technology together can build smarter, more connected, and future-ready campuses. By celebrating these journeys, the initiative hopes to inspire action, foster collaboration, and create a national conversation on the role of digital solutions in shaping the next generation of learners and leaders.
