India Stack is digital public infrastructure that mediates the flow of people (through digital identity), money (UPI), and information. The newest part—mediating the flow of information—happens through Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA). DEPA is now enabled in India through the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP). The two acts have ushered in techno-legal regulation for both personal data and aggregate datasets, used in Machine Learning and AI. India is the first country to adopt this approach. Techno-legal regulation for personal data formalizes informed consent in a revocable, auditable, purpose-limited, and storage-limited way. It gives agency to the citizens and empowers them to improve their livelihoods.
