So lets say that Alexander lives longer. He does not have to conquer India on the first try, but eventually he does, replacing the Mauryan dynasty as the would be conqueror of India.

Eventually of course, Alexander dies and even if he left a viable heir I doubt that heir would have been able to hold an empire stretching from India to the Mediterranean, though I don't care if he does.

What I'm interested in is what are the effects of a Hellenic Empire in charge of India. This empire can be run by an actual descendant of Alexander, or it can be run by one of his generals in a carve up similar to what happened OTL following Alexander's death.

Can Buddhism and Jainism make a bigger splash in the West?
What would the effects of Greek political and religious ideas have on India?

Im just curious to the effects.
