Our courses demonstrate how DPI should be designed, built and governed responsibly. Aimed at key decision makers across the public and private sectors, these courses are conducted by leading experts in the field.

We collaborate with administrative training academies and private institutions in India to teach a wide range of courses on DPI.

Our Model

Building Capacities for Effective Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)

Implementing Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is a complex challenge. High-level commitment is essential to embarking on the DPI journey, and success depends on strong leadership across political, technical, and administrative domains. These leadership layers are critical for the conceptualisation, design, development, deployment, and regulation of DPI at scale.

At the DPI Academy, we are dedicated to building the necessary capacities for responsible DPI implementation and governance. We offer pro-bono courses that focus on developing skills at three key levels: policymakers, domain experts and technologists. DPI is not a typical IT project—it requires alignment on vision, architecture, governance models, and business strategies, as well as strong consensus-building among all stakeholders.

Collaborative Learning for Key Decision-Makers

Our courses will be designed in collaboration with a range of public and private partners, including administrative training academies and leading academic institutions. We specifically target civil servants and administrative officers who are integral to shaping DPI initiatives within government and the broader ecosystem. By equipping these decision-makers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of DPI, we aim to foster effective and sustainable digital transformations.
