I was going to ask what they were searching for. I've not seen any videos from India (aside from when I actually was looking for them)

Search for anything related to computer science, you will get tons of videos and true enough most of them are very bad quality in both content and language.

I decided to test this empirically by selecting a computer science topic at random*

Lols, you searched for Lattice reduction. We never studied that in our universities. Btw, My assumption was wrong. I searched many keywords, and there were no Indian videos at the top. Interesting!

Sounds like a missed opportunity to me.

After joining Industry I realized how much my university missed to teach me and took me a long time to grab whatever I can. Almost all Indian universities are teaching the same content from decades.

Nothing about Functional Programming, Big data, even Theory of Computation (that was mine :D )

Depends on the university. Mine teaches all three, for example.
