Abstract : India’s economic digitalization transcends technological evolution; it’s a narrative of adaptability, resilience and a commitment to fostering an environment where innovation flourishes, individual rights are safeguarded and the nation emerges as a global frontrunner in the digital epoch. Integral to this digital odyssey are intellectual property laws and the Consumer Protection Act, serving as guardians of creators, consumers, and businesses in the digital realm. Key government programs, such as the National Digital Health Mission and the Unified Payments Interface, underscore India’s dedication to leveraging technology for societal well-being and financial inclusion. The imminent Digital Personal Data Protection Act establishes a comprehensive framework for responsible data processing and protection. The impending Digital India Act 2023, set to replace the Information Technology Act of 2000, is poised to bridge the gap between traditional legal frameworks and the complexities of the digital era. From online dispute resolution to intermediary liability, the Act signifies a progressive leap towards a comprehensive legislative landscape for the digital age. This Chapter navigates through the multifaceted dimensions of India’s economic digitalization, delving into the transformative impact of government initiatives such as Digital India and the impending Digital India Act. The legal underpinnings, including the Information Technology Act and cybersecurity laws have evolved in response to emerging challenges, focusing on data protection, privacy and the alignment of legal principles with the digitized landscape.
