India’s education system is going through a big change, and the reason is Artificial Intelligence (AI). From helping students learn in their own way to making assessments smarter, AI is reshaping how teaching and learning happen. AI EdTech startups like Vidya AI are leading this change, making education more personalised, intelligent and accessible for everyone.
One of the biggest benefits of AI is its ability to personalise learning for every student. In traditional classrooms, it’s hard for teachers to meet the unique needs of each child-especially in a diverse country like India.
Platforms like VidyaAI solve this problem by using a Personalised learning platform that understands how every student learns-their speed, strengths and weaknesses. The platform then creates a custom learning path, changing lessons and exercises based on the student’s progress.
Students from CBSE and state boards benefit from–
Interactive lessons and gamified learning
Doubt-solving bots
Real-time progress tracking for teachers
This makes learning more personal, predictive, and supportive for both students and teachers.
Learning in your own language
India has over 20 major languages, and language often becomes a barrier in learning. VidyaAI’s multilingual agentic AI helps students learn in their native language, making lessons easier to understand and remember.
This approach is especially helpful for:
Students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
First-generation learners
Students who are more comfortable in local languages than English
By giving natural language feedback, the platform ensures that students not only learn but also engage better with the content.
AI’s role beyond the classroom
AI in education is not just about lessons and exams. Startups like VidyaAI, which focus on computer vision and security, show that AI can also improve school infrastructure by:
Enhancing campus security
Monitoring assets
Analyzing student behavior for safety
Such innovations open doors for smart schools, better administration, and even AI-powered curriculum planning.
Supporting India’s education goals
AI in education aligns perfectly with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Digital India mission. These initiatives focus on technology-driven and inclusive education, and AI ensures:
Learning becomes accessible and measurable
Students get personalized attention
Outcomes improve across the country
As AI continues to grow, India’s EdTech journey will move toward even more adaptive, multilingual, and impactful learning experiences for all.
