Most likely it will not.
Cellular Carriers that support the Apple Watch, which models, the radio frequencies each model uses, and the country where they offer service:

Cross check the U.S. model vs the model sold in India.
Also make sure your Mom is using a carrier that supports the Apple Watch.
NOTE: If you Mom always has her iPhone nearby, the GPS only model can do Everything the cellular model can do. The Cellular model just has the ability to leave the iPhone behind and still use the internet and make/receive phone calls.
