Abstract	Mobile learning (m-learning) has emerged as a transformative approach in higher education in India, driven by the rapid growth of smartphones, affordable internet access, and digital initiatives. This study explores the role of mobile learning in enhancing teaching–learning processes in Indian higher education institutions. It highlights how mobile devices enable flexible, accessible, and personalised learning experiences, allowing students to access educational resources anytime and anywhere. Mobile learning supports collaborative learning through apps, online platforms, and social media, thereby improving student engagement and participation. Mobile learning has revolutionised higher education by providing flexibility in time and place, allowing students and educators to engage in learning anytime, anywhere via internet connectivity. It supports personalised learning by catering to diverse learning styles and needs, and enhances student engagement through digital platforms and interactive content. Moreover, M-learning offers a practical solution for students in rural and underprivileged areas, where access to quality education and higher education institutions is limited by financial and infrastructural constraints. The National Education Policy 2020 emphasises the integration of technology, including mobile learning, to make education more inclusive and accessible. Similarly, Sustainable Development Goal 4 emphasises the importance of ensuring quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, a goal strongly supported by mobile learning initiatives. Furthermore, aligning with global standards and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality can enhance the quality and competitiveness of Indian higher education. In the context of Viksit Bharat @2047, mobile learning is expected to play a vital role in building an inclusive, skilled, and knowledge-based society
