So one of the things we're taking on kind of an ambitious project in this conversation, which is to think about IB in India, which is you have your own perspective, but you also have, you've moved around enough to probably know more about it.

Gayathri MehtaGUEST
The biggest or the first thing to understand about India is that there isn't one Indian education system.

Gayathri MehtaGUEST
We have the Central Board of Secondary Education, ICSE, and then we have international curriculum like the A-levels and IB.

Gayathri MehtaGUEST
And even within all of these, there's a lot of, I would say, urban-rural divide.

Gayathri MehtaGUEST
So the educational experience in a way of a student in a private school in Mumbai or Delhi or Bangalore or Chandigarh, for that matter, is completely different from that of a student in kind of a rural government school.
