Description	COVID-19 has meant the questioning of many deep-held educational premises. Digital equity in higher education in India and institutional resilience need more probing. In this context, this paper traces out the levels of digital inequity in Indian higher education and attempts to identify practical pathways to bridge them. The author draws on reflective online teaching practice and theory to interrogate the levels of digital inequity and possible solutions. The paper provides practical ways of focusing on different levels, such as affordability, access, support, and systems to address this. In each of the four areas, the possible strategies are explored. Together, the solutions presented can enact more inclusive learning environments across online learning contexts. Firstly, the paper provides a framework for practitioners to understand the kind of digital inequities at play in their institutions. International and Indian responses are briefly discussed. Secondly, the paper provides a ready-reckoner of long-term and short-term solutions to address different forms of inequity. Thirdly, the paper suggests a template for strategising for an internet-equitable institution with specified parameters for each student.
