Behind every big leap in a country’s tech ecosystem lie policy decisions, regulatory frameworks, and a collective vision that determine how far and how fast the nation can go. From AI and payments to telecom, cybersecurity, and space, the future of technology in India is being shaped as much in ministries and boardrooms as in labs and startups.
Following our acclaimed Tech100 list, MIT Sloan Management Review India now presents Policy 50—a definitive list of 50 leaders steering and shaping the nation’s digital economy.
The list features ministers, regulators, mission heads, industry pioneers, academics, and policy shapers. Their roles may differ, but they share a common responsibility: ensuring that India’s digital growth is anchored in innovation, sound governance, and public trust.
While Policy 50 highlights some of the most visible figures shaping the agenda, it also acknowledges the many others across government, industry, and academia whose steady contributions continue to power India’s digital rise.
