UWA hired SRM Technologies to build the digital campus stack for its Mumbai and Chennai branches, covering admissions, finance and networking on a five-month timeline for the 2026-27 academic year launch.
The University of Western Australia has hired SRM Technologies to build the digital backbone for its two new India branch campuses, the companies said Wednesday.
SRM will design, implement and manage the full technology environment for the Mumbai and Chennai campuses, including the student information system, admissions, finance, HR, campus networking and enterprise applications. The entire stack is being deployed on a five-month timeline to support UWA India's launch for the 2026-27 academic year.
"It was critical to partner with an organisation that understands both the higher education sector and the technology required to support a world-class student experience," David Das, UWA India's chief operating officer, said in a statement.
The multi-year engagement covers ongoing application management, infrastructure operations and support services. SRM's education technology business unit is handling the implementation.
SRM Technologies CEO Manivannan S said the company sees opportunities as universities expand international branch campuses and adopt hybrid learning models. "Our strategic focus is on Australia and the United States, where we combine deep EdTech expertise with an outcome-based delivery approach," he said.
UWA, a Group of Eight member and Global Top 100 university, is the first Australian institution to establish branch campuses in India under the country's new International Branch Campus framework. SRM Technologies already serves on the Victorian Government's School Software Panel in Australia, delivering school management systems across K-12 institutions.
SRM Technologies did not disclose the financial terms of the agreement.
