By leveraging AI-powered tools and technologies, educators and students alike are gaining access to personalised learning experiences, enhanced academic support, and innovative educational resources.

Here’s what industry experts have to say about how Al empowers education
Seekho co-founder & CEO Arihant Jain
AI is altering education, reshaping the educational process, and giving students new authority. AI systems can analyse enormous volumes of data, evaluate unique learning patterns, and offer individualised recommendations through the use of clever algorithms, ensuring that students receive an education that is suited to their individual needs and learning preferences. Virtual tutors and chatbots powered by AI provide real-time support, responding to inquiries and offering advice. This increases student engagement and promotes self-paced learning. AI can also automate administrative activities like scheduling and grading, giving teachers more time to concentrate on providing high-quality training. By utilising AI, education is becoming more inclusive and open to all, allowing students/Individuals to learn, hone their critical thinking abilities, and succeed in a world that is becoming more connected and digital.

AI in education is truly transformative. Thanks to generative AI, we’re opening up new avenues for learning that seemed out of reach just years ago. It’s reshaping how we teach, offering customized learning journeys and engaging content. Through AI platforms, students get tailored lessons, instant feedback, and a vibrant community learning experience. AI also gives educators a deeper insight into a student’s growth, beyond just grades, enabling more personalized and impactful lessons. Plus, AI ensures learning is inclusive, breaking down language barriers and ensuring everyone can learn equally.
We need to embrace these AI advancements, helping students become not just learners but thinkers and creators. With knowledge in areas like generative AI, we’re setting up the coming generations of professionals for accomplishments that were previously unimaginable. The next step for learners? Leverage AI and build a resilient career that can stand the test of time. That’s the vision we all should be chasing.

AI is revolutionizing the education landscape, transforming learning, and empowering students in unprecedented ways. With its remarkable capabilities to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and provide personalized insights, AI is reshaping the educational experience to cater to individual needs.
One of the most significant ways AI is transforming learning is through personalized learning paths. AI-powered algorithms analyse students’ performance data and learning styles, allowing educators to tailor curricula and resources to suit their specific strengths and weaknesses. This individualized approach enhances students’ understanding, engagement, and motivation, ultimately leading to improved learning outcomes.
Additionally, AI-driven virtual tutors and chatbots are available 24/7, providing real-time assistance and support to students. These interactive tools help students overcome challenges and reinforce their understanding of complex topics, fostering independent learning and boosting their self-confidence.
Traditional exams are being complemented or replaced by AI-powered adaptive assessments, which can evaluate students’ knowledge and skills more accurately and efficiently.
We witnessed that Post-COVID, IILM has already adopted online assessments, blended teaching and learning. Through AI we are able to get real-time data to check the progress of the students which help us to provide real time intervention. Ultimately we are all working for the progress of our students. AI driven platforms enable remote learning, automate administrative tasks, and provide data-driven insights, fostering student engagement, individualized support, and inclusive education for all learners.

AI is transforming education by making learning more personalized, accessible, and engaging. It empowers students to take control of their learning journey, develop essential skills, and prepare for a rapidly changing world. However, it’s essential to use AI responsibly and ethically, ensuring that student data privacy and security are protected throughout the learning process.
The power to analyse large-scale educational data to gain valuable insights into student performance, curriculum effectiveness, and learning trends is also very valuable. These insights help educators make data-driven decisions to improve the overall learning experience.

Content India 2026 opens with a copro pitch, a spice evangelist and a £10,000 prize for Indian storytelling
Dish TV and C21Media’s three-day summit puts seven ambitious projects before an international jury, and two walk away with serious development money
MUMBAI: India’s content industry gathered in Mumbai this March for Content India 2026, a three-day summit organised by Dish TV in partnership with C21Media, and it wasted no time making a statement. The event opened with a Copro Pitch that put seven scripted and unscripted television concepts before an international panel of judges, and by the end of it, two projects had walked away with £10,000 each in marketing prize money from C21Media to support development and international promotion.
The jury, comprising Frank Spotnitz, Fiona Campbell, Rashmi Bajpai, Bal Samra and Rachel Glaister, evaluated a shortlist that ranged from a dark Mumbai comedy-drama about mental health (Dirty Minds, created by Sundar Aaron) to a Delhi coming-of-age mystery (Djinn Patrol, by Neha Sharma and Kilian Irwin), a techno-thriller about a teenage gaming prodigy (Kanpur X Satori, by Suchita Bhatia), an investigative crime drama blending mythology and modern thriller (The Age of Kali, by Shivani Bhatija), a documentary on India’s spice heritage (The Masala Quest, hosted by Sarina Kamini), a documentary on competitive gaming (Respawn: India’s Esports Revolution, by George Mangala Thomas and Sangram Mawari), and a reality-horror competition merging gaming and immersive fear (Scary Goose, by Samar Iqbal).
The session was hosted by Mayank Shekhar.
The two winners were Djinn Patrol, backed by Miura Kite, formerly of Participant Media and known for Chinatown and Keep Sweet: Pray & Obey, with Jaya Entertainment, producers of Real Kashmir Football Club, also attached; and The Masala Quest, created and hosted by Sarina Kamini, an Indian-Australian cook, author and self-described “spice evangelist.”
The summit also unveiled the Content India Trends Report, whose findings made for bracing reading. Daoud Jackson, senior analyst at OMDIA, set the tone: “By 2030, online video in India will nearly double the revenue of traditional TV, becoming the main driver of growth.” He noted that in 2025, India produced a quarter of all YouTube videos globally, overtaking the United States, while Indians collectively spend 117 years daily on YouTube and 72 years on Instagram. Traditional subscription TV is declining as free TV and connected TV gain ground, forcing broadcasters to innovate. “AI-generated content is just 2 per cent of engagement,” Jackson added, “highlighting the dominance of high-quality human content. The key for Indian media companies is scaling while monetising effectively from day one.”
Hannah Walsh, principal analyst at Ampere Analysis, added hard numbers to the picture. India produced over 24,000 titles in January 2026 alone, with 19,000 available internationally. The country now accounts for 12 per cent of Asia-Pacific content spend, up from 8 per cent in 2021, outpacing both Japan and China. Key exporters include JioStar, Zee Entertainment, Sony India, Amazon and Netflix, delivering over 7,500 Indian-produced titles abroad each year. The top importing markets are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, the United States and the Philippines. Scripted content dominates globally at 88 per cent, with crime dramas and children’s and family titles performing particularly strongly.
Manoj Dobhal, chief executive and executive director of Dish TV India, framed the summit’s ambition squarely. “Stories don’t need translation. They need a platform, discovery, and reach, local or global,” he said. “India produces more movies than any country, our streaming platforms compete globally, and our tech and creators win international awards. Yet fragmentation slows growth. Producers, platforms, and tech move in different lanes. We need shared spaces, collaboration, and an ecosystem where ideas, technology, and people meet. That is why we built Content India.”
The data, the pitches and the prize money all pointed to the same conclusion: India is not waiting for the world to discover its stories. It is building the infrastructure to sell them.
