As Vice Chancellor of a leading Indian university, you face the ongoing challenge of modernizing campus technology without compromising fiscal discipline. Integrating Apple products into your institution’s digital ecosystem can drive innovation, boost student and faculty outcomes, and enhance your global reputation.
