About the Digii100 Summit
The Digii100 Summit was born out of three simple yet powerful insights.
First, education is one of the most meaningful and impactful services in the world, shaping lives, families, and societies. It drives progress, builds nations, and defines the quality of our collective future.
Second, technology has played a magical role in transforming every major sector — unlocking quality, affordability, and scale at speeds once unimaginable. Its potential in education is equally profound, opening new pathways to learning, innovation, and inclusion.
Third, real transformation happens when the best minds of a sector come together, not around a specific agenda, but around a shared purpose: to engage in honest dialogue, co-create ideas, and build the future together.
That’s how the Digii100 Summit came to life — as a collective movement that brings together leaders from policy, education, and technology to reimagine higher education for a digital, connected, and future-ready Bharat.
Inside the sessions and outside in the hallways, powerful conversations lead to collaborations, collaborations lead to action, and action shapes a new chapter for India’s higher education ecosystem.
The Digii100 Summit also celebrates the Top 100 Institutions leading this digital transformation — those setting new benchmarks for excellence, innovation, and impact.

Digii100 Benchmark
Celebrating Institutions Driving Digital Excellence
When the Digii100 Summit began, we realised that beyond great conversations, what truly moves the ecosystem forward are real stories from institutions — stories of transformation, innovation, and courage in adopting technology to make education better.
That’s how the Digii100 Benchmark was born, to celebrate and learn from institutions that are redefining higher education through technology. It’s not just an award; it’s a community-led recognition that turns best practices into shared benchmarks for others to follow.
Every year, the Top 100 Higher Education Institutions are recognised for measurable impact across academics, administration, and governance — selected through Digii’s Comprehensive Digital Transformation Framework, validated by experts from academia, technology, and policy.
The process is completely transparent, the evaluation scientific, and the purpose simple: to spotlight those building the digital future of higher education in India.
