About the Book

The book explores India?s post-liberalization transformations through an anthropological study of the software industry. It examines the origins of software capital, the shaping of the Indian IT workforce, the new management practices and forms of work introduced in IT workspaces, and the connections between IT and the middle class. The author suggests that although the software industry has been central to the fashioning of the ?New India?, it remains embedded in older social structures of inequality.
