Testimonials
Prapti Bhasin
Chief Operating Officer,
Aavishkaar Center
The DTSI program has been a journey of shifting perspectives—seeing technology not as an end but as a means to enable deeper, more human-centered change. Along the way, we discovered that true transformation is rooted not in systems, but in people: in understanding their realities, aspirations, and contexts. What began as a technical exploration evolved into a holistic understanding of how digital transformation transcends mere technological implementation. It challenged us to think beyond implementation and embrace leadership, empathy, and innovation. More than tools, it taught us the art of creating lasting, meaningful impact.

The DTSI Program has been a deeply transformative journey for both me and my organisation. Guided by my mentor, Varsha Varma, I gained new clarity on defining problems and structuring solutions. Engaging with experts across sectors broadened my understanding of digital strategy. I now carry a clearer roadmap for applying digital transformation to better serve our school leaders and students. Above all, the community-driven approach and ILSS team’s support made this experience both enriching and profoundly thought-provoking.

The ILSS Digital Transformation Program has proven to be an enriching experience. Over the past three months, we had the privilege of learning from leading experts who provided invaluable insights into their journeys and the rapidly evolving digital landscape. My mentor helped deepen my understanding and assisted in developing a structured roadmap for Concern India Foundation’s digital transformation journey. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to foster meaningful transformation in their workplace.

The program has been a transformative and thought-provoking experience for those of us in the development sector striving to harness the power of technology for scalable impact. Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts of “digital” and “transformation” and their application in the sector. Additionally, it provides critical insights into collaborating with government entities on technology-driven initiatives. Perhaps most importantly, participants benefit from the guidance of experienced mentors who help refine ideas into actionable, scalable, and impactful strategies.
