ABSTRACT
From ancient times, India has been touted as a global study venue that offers high-quality education at a low cost. However, this trend has declined over the years. Thus, the study aims to discuss the present Indian Higher Education environment in light of the covid-19 pandemic. Attempt to explore if there are any opportunities for Indian higher education to expand worldwide and capitalize from contemporary technological advancements. According to the research findings, international academic institutions must be encouraged to operate in India. Likewise, Indian academic institutions should also partner with industries to encourage technology transfer both at the national and international levels. Therefore, a regulatory mechanism should be put into effect to facilitate such entrance and assist India in reclaiming its status as a Viswa Guru.
