As India has entered into an advanced neoliberal, digital age, the constitution of the elites who drive policy and political agendas has changed. Altering the contours of the old military-bureaucracy-business complex are 'data elites' - IT consulting firms, think tanks, social media designers, mobile operators and so on. These elites are elusive, moving laterally across different professional circles but they are increasingly being recognised as key drivers of change. From elections to urban policy agendas to cleaning up the bureaucracy. Does the new elite composition signify a scope for emancipatory change or not? Looking at a whole range of forces: smart cities, digital election campaigns, border conflicts and governance reform I explain what the new structures of elite power in India are and how they operate.
