Airtel partners with Ministry of Education to power ed-tech platform DIKSHA

Indian telecom major Airtel has announced that it has won the Cloud and CDN mandate from the Digital India Corporation (DIC) to power DIKSHA (Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing). This is India’s national platform for open education digital content. DIC is under the control of the Ministry of Education (MoE).

With this mandate, Airtel becomes the partner for end-to-end management of DIKSHA’s online platforms across its mobile app and website. The DIKSHA app and website will now be powered by Airtel Cloud and will be made accessible to students across the country for free educational content in their preferred Indian language. Students, particularly in far-flung and remote locations, will be able to easily enrol on the platform. Airtel Cloud will also lead the migration of DIKSHA to Oracle Cloud and offer its managed services along with CDN solutions.
