India is teaching Google how AI in education can scale

India's got 1.4 billion people and they're adopting AI for education at scale. That's not a story about India — it's a story about where the growth is. Google's clearly smart enough to treat India as a test bed for education AI, which means they're learning how to scale this in resource-constrained environments.

The takeaway: education is a legitimate use case for LLMs (tutoring, personalized learning), and whoever owns that market outside the US wins big. Google sees this. So should everyone else building in this space.
