India’s AI Education Push: Redrob COO Kartikey Handa on Building Open AI Models for 300 Million Students
Dec 30, 2025
Speaking with TechGraph, Kartikey Handa, Chief Operating Officer and Head of India Operations at Redrob, discussed how India’s AI adoption has been constrained less by a lack of interest and more by affordability barriers created by global pricing models, and how the company is addressing this gap by building free and open access AI systems designed specifically for students operating in a rupee-based economy.
Handa also explained how Redrob is structuring its India operations around localisation, cost-efficient model design, and mobile-first delivery so that students across metros and remote districts can access consistent AI-driven learning support, while laying the foundation for an India-first AI ecosystem that prioritises reach, trust, and long-term capability building.
