Techno India University continues its legacy of innovation and student-centric growth with the introduction of the Sconto Card—a transformative initiative designed to redefine how students experience campus life.
In a landmark move, this collaboration marks Sconto’s first-ever university partnership, placing Techno India University at the forefront of building India’s most powerful student ecosystem—one that seamlessly blends affordability, accessibility, and opportunity.
Highlighting the significance of this collaboration, Meghdut RoyChowdhury, Executive Director and Chief Innovation Officer of Techno India Group, who joins Sconto as an Academic Advisor, shared his perspective on the evolving needs of students: “Today’s Gen Z and Gen Alpha students are not just learners, they are creators, innovators, and decision-makers of tomorrow. Platforms like Sconto go beyond transactional benefits, building identity, exposure, and real-world engagement. By integrating hackathons, industry interaction, and everyday advantages, we are shaping an ecosystem where learning extends beyond the classroom… one that is connected, practical, and student-first, while also enabling students to create careers and job opportunities for themselves.”
The Sconto Card brings with it a host of benefits, including exclusive discounts across 500+ brands spanning hospitality, e-commerce, and lifestyle sectors. Whether it’s dining, shopping, or everyday essentials, students now have access to premium services at significantly reduced costs. Additionally, affordable bike and car rides to and from campus ensure smoother and more economical daily commuting.
The launch witnessed an enthusiastic response from students, reflecting strong engagement and excitement. Many students actively suggested their favourite brands, such as Savana, Newme, and various educational apps, to be integrated into the platform, showcasing a sense of participation in shaping this evolving ecosystem.
At the core of this initiative is Sourav Chakku, CEO of Sconto, who emphasised the broader vision behind the collaboration: “Our partnership with Techno India University marks a significant step towards building India’s most powerful student ecosystem. We believe students deserve more than just access… they deserve opportunities, identity, and a real advantage in their everyday lives… We aim to disrupt the student economy one campus at a time, creating a system where students can save more, experience more, and grow beyond the classroom.”
Adding a product perspective, Anamitra Ghosh, Co-Founder, highlighted the focus on student experience and usability: “Our goal with Sconto has always been to design a platform that truly understands student needs… simple, accessible, and valuable in everyday life. From discounts to mobility and innovation opportunities, we are building something that seamlessly integrates into how students live, learn, and grow.”
Beyond everyday benefits, Sconto also introduces hackathon opportunities, encouraging students to innovate, collaborate, and gain real-world exposure, perfectly aligning with Techno India University’s commitment to nurturing creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
With this initiative, Techno India University once again reinforces its role as a pioneer in integrating academic excellence with industry-driven innovation.
The Sconto Card is not just a privilege—it is a step towards a smarter, more empowered student community, and Techno India University is leading the way.
