Genesis Base – Education Lab (Sector 4)
The massive hall lit up with soft blue glow. Floating around Deepak were dozens of translucent panels—each showing a different Indian classroom: one from a government school in Bihar, another from a private school in Mumbai, another from a village in Manipur where kids sat on the floor.
Deepak watched silently, his hand resting on his chin.
> "EVA," he said. "Project HoloClassroom—status?"
> "Hardware complete. Curriculum modules based on NCERT, CBSE, ICSE, and regional boards uploaded. Multilingual support activated. AI teachers trained in pedagogical models—India-specific. Ready for testing."
Deepak stepped toward a large circular platform. At the center was a sleek pod: the HoloClass Learning Sphere.
> "This will change everything," he whispered.
The pod pulsed gently. He entered.

Inside the Learning Sphere – Test Simulation
Suddenly, Deepak found himself standing inside a 3D holographic classroom, except he wasn't alone.
> A young AI teacher stood beside a virtual blackboard.
> The room was interactive. Surrounding students could ask questions—even if they weren't present in real life. It worked through neural mapping and real-time voice-to-thought prediction, all run on adaptive AI.
> "Today," the teacher said in fluent Hindi, "we're learning about Newton's Third Law. But not with words—see for yourself."
Suddenly, holograms sprang to life—two astronauts floating in space, colliding in slow motion. Arrows showed reaction and action forces in real-time.
It wasn't education anymore.
It was experience.
> "This is how every child in India should learn," Deepak whispered.

September 8, 2025 – All India Beta Launch
The first 5,000 HoloClass Spheres were installed across:
100 schools in Uttar Pradesh
50 tribal schools in Chhattisgarh
200 Kendriya Vidyalayas in Tier-2 cities
150 private institutions under NDA pilot funding
Deepak had decided not to sell this technology.
It would be free. Forever.
The cost was absorbed by HoloDreams' global hardware sales—especially in China and the US, where each HoloBand was now priced at ₹3,50,000 (approx $4,200) and still in mass demand.

Reactions Across India
🏫 Lucknow Government School – Class 10
> "Mummy! Mummy!" a boy shouted, running home.
"We had a 3D science class! I was floating in space! I asked questions to the teacher—she replied like she was real!"
His mother, a housemaid, stood stunned. "Tum toh English bhi bol liya…"
🧓 In Unnao – Deepak's Village
Sanno Rawat, his mother, sat with other village women. News vans were parked outside. Deepak's name was now in the mouth of every child.
> "Your son… he's made school like magic," one woman said.
Sanno smiled softly. "He always wanted to help people. Since he was little."
Rakesh Rawat, standing at the tea stall nearby, watched the coverage silently. His phone buzzed every few minutes. Relatives from across the country had started calling again.

Back at Genesis Base
EVA's voice chimed in:
> "Happiness Points: 73 million and rising."
Deepak looked at the numbers with calm focus.
> "Good. But now we push it further. What's next?"
> "World Bank and UNESCO have requested collaborations. China has proposed a joint AI lab. Harvard and MIT have asked for lectures."
Deepak blinked, slightly overwhelmed.
He was still just 18.
Still just a boy from Delhi.
And yet… the world wanted a piece of his brain.
> "Send them all polite messages: I'll collaborate. But right now, I want to make sure no kid in India ever feels they don't belong in the future."

The Challenge of Mindset
Of course, not everyone was happy.
Several private education giants began lobbying against HoloClassroom, calling it "an unregulated experiment."
A few state boards rejected AI-powered teachers, citing lack of "human emotion."
Social media debates exploded between supporters and skeptics.
> One headline read:
"Teen Genius or Digital Dictator? Are AI Teachers the End of Human Teaching?"
Deepak read it quietly.
> "They don't get it yet," he said.
But change never comes quietly.

Evening – September 10, 2025 – Deepak's Room in Lajpat Nagar
For the first time in weeks, Deepak returned home.
His room hadn't changed.
The old chair, the cracked mirror, posters of Goku and Iron Man still on the walls. His mother had cooked Aloo Paratha, the way he liked it.
Khushboo sat beside him, teasing.
> "Aaj kal toh PM logon ko gifts bhej rahe ho… par mujhe ek bhi Band nahi diya."
Deepak laughed. "Tumhare liye toh customized version banaya hai—AI that only speaks sarcasm."
Laughter filled the home.
For a moment, he wasn't the CEO of the world's largest tech company.
He was just Deepak.
A boy who wanted to change the world.
One classroom at a time.
