They won’t be thrashed. Though if India could be very tough for this development side.
Valuable exposure for mostly a group of kids in very hot foreign conditions, that won’t be unlike playing in the Islands in 2020. Plus if one of the amateur players picks up a pro gig from being spotted, that’s a big bonus in itself.

Um, no. Seriously, who do you think will be watching this two bit tournament?
I think Jake Gleeson got signed by the Timbers, as some scout was basically channel surfing whatever age group World Cup he was at??
There will be people watching this tourney, for sure not the recruiting staff at Real Madrid, but someone. So who knows what could happen. For example the coach of India is a respected experienced Englishman, so who knows what contacts he would have if one the young AWs shone against India.
