Raghav Juyal Highlights AI Education Gap Between India and China

Viral Podcast Clip  
In a chat on Prakhar Gupta’s podcast, Juyal talked about the future of technology and artificial intelligence. A brief excerpt of the discussion went viral on X, Instagram and YouTube, racking up millions of views within hours.

Juyal, who has worked in dance and films, said that the youth need to focus more on future skills to remain competitive at the global level.

Comparison between India and China
Raghav told in the podcast that in China, school students are being taught *artificial intelligence and coding* from a young age and are already building tech projects. 

He compared this to India, where he says entertainment and dance videos often trend more than innovation content. 
“Not saying entertainment is bad, but we also need to lead kids into AI, robotics and problem-solving,” he said.

Comments Spark Online Controversy  
His comments were met with mixed reactions. 
Many agreed with him, saying India needs to spend more on schools for AI education, STEM and digital skills. “That’s true. “We need to teach kids to build, not just consume,” said a user.

Some considered the comparison unfair. Some highlighted India’s booming startup ecosystem, IT industry and young coders who are already making their mark globally.

Future skills in focus
The discussion has once again brought into sharp focus the need for more focus on AI, coding and innovation in Indian classrooms. According to education experts, countries that focus on tech literacy early will be better positioned for jobs in the next decade.

Juyal later clarified that he was not criticising Indian talent but encouraging more attention on future-ready skills.
