Yotta and GGSIPU Launch AI-Enabled Higher Education Plan

Yotta Data Services, India’s leading sovereign cloud infrastructure and platform services provider, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), one of India’s leading multidisciplinary state universities, to develop an AI-enabled education delivery model for India’s higher education ecosystem.

The MoU was signed at the Flagship National Conclave on AI Evolution – The Mahakumbh of AI, presided over by the Vice President of India, Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, along with other senior dignitaries. Under the MoU inked at the conclave organised under the aegis of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and GGSIPU,  Yotta’s infrastructure, servers, and platform support willmore than 350 AI-enabled educational courses at no cost to over 2,00,000 students across 125+ colleges affiliated with the GGSIPU, making GGSIPU the first university in India to implement the proposed AI automation framework.

Addressing the gathering, the Hon’ble Vice President described the initiative as “a defining inflection point for Indian education,” observing that the integration of AI at scale allows India to simultaneously pursue access, quality, and affordability. He noted that by shifting faculty effort from repetitive teaching to assessment, mentoring, and outcomes, the model unlocks unprecedented reach and provides a realistic pathway to achieving the national 50 percent Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) target.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a large-scale, AI-enabled learning movement in Indian higher education that reimagines how knowledge is delivered and experienced. Over the next three years, the partners will set up a dedicated AI Learning Lab at the university, introduce interactive AI-powered courses across departments, and create a scalable model that can be replicated by other universities across India and beyond.

Hon'ble Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena, The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi emphasised Delhi’s role as a national innovation hub, stating that AI-enabled education platforms such as this have the power to democratise learning across regions and social segments. He underscored that distance and blended learning, powered by sovereign digital infrastructure, will be central to India’s next phase of educational expansion.

The Education Minister of Delhi, Shri Ashish Sood, highlighted the transformational impact on public education delivery, noting that the model breaks long-standing capacity constraints. He remarked that GER “now has legs to stand on,” particularly as this framework scales across distance education and lifelong learning programs. He committed to ensure that this is adopted by all higher ed institutes in the Delhi state.

Commenting on the collaboration, Sunil Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, Yotta Data Services, said, “We are out to make learning more personalised and impactful, while helping universities operate more efficiently and aligning with India’s National Education Policy and Digital India vision. This will give a shot in the arm to India’s struggle to improve the GER. With Einstein-grade intelligence, the main charter of this unified AI automation in education is to overcome the current limitations in learning delivery, where the number of students per course is constrained by faculty capacity. Today, a professor can teach no more than 200 students per semester. With AI automation, that limit vaporises”

The framework is designed to transform teaching experience by integrating AI into the classroom. It will make education delivery more efficient, potentially reduce costs by up to 50%, and ease institutional pressures by giving teachers real-time insights into attendance, participation, and performance. This will enable them to focus more on mentorship and meaningful interaction, rather than routine tasks, making learning more interactive, collaborative, and inquiry-led.

Dr Mahesh Verma, the Vice Chancellor, GGSIPU said, “The AI Platform will serve as the core gateway to the galaxy of learners across AICTE institutions and we intend setting up in collaboration with Yotta a teaching-learning repository that over 1000 universities in the country can source content from. This initiative will make quality education truly scalable, accessible, and affordable. We demonstrated today how a student can achieve in 30 minutes that was inconceivable by them across 8 years. This amplifies the commercial scale and scope for Yotta and their investment into this ecosystem.”

Prof. T. G. Sitharam, Chairman of AICTE, also welcomed the initiative, noting its potential to eventually integrate over 1,100 universities and impact more than 40 million students under the AICTE umbrella. He said the project will introduce advanced, AI-trained programs that will transform experiences nationwide. He quoted Neil Armstrong, “this a small step for man but a giant leap for mankind”

Under the agreement, Yotta will ensure the highest standards of uptime, cybersecurity, and data privacy in full compliance with national and institutional norms. The company will also extend technical assistance to scale the model to other universities in consultation with GGSIPU. The project is expected to culminate in a national showcase at the India-AI Impact Summit 2026, demonstrating how responsible AI can expand opportunity for students across India.

By combining human teaching with AI-driven intelligence, this collaboration lays out the foundation for a new learning paradigm. Through this initiative, Yotta is enabling one of the largest AI-driven education augmentation in India’s history.
