India’s Data-Driven Renaissance: Transforming Policy for a Digital Future

India's digital landscape is evolving rapidly, with data-driven policies taking center stage. The Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, reflect a citizen-centric approach to data governance, empowering individuals with rights like informed consent and data erasure. Simultaneously, efforts to measure India's digital economy are underway, with the country becoming one of the first among developing nations to use the OECD framework for estimating its digital sector's size. This data-centric approach is not only enhancing policy formulation but also positioning India as a global leader in digital governance and innovation.
