Why You Should Join This
In 2014, when I was a LAMP Fellow walking the corridors of Parliament, policy work meant summarising
bills by hand, tracking amendments in spreadsheets, and briefing MPs through written notes that took days
to prepare. The idea that AI would transform this work seemed like science fiction.
A decade later, that science fiction is operational reality:
• The Supreme Court has translated 36,344 judgments to Hindi and 47,439 to regional languages using AI
• Kisan e-Mitra handles 20,000+ farmer queries daily in 22 languages
• Political parties spent $50 million on AI-generated content in the 2024 elections and made 50+ million voice clone calls
• The government has committed n10,372 crore to the IndiaAI Mission
This isn't incremental change. This is a structural transformation in how policy gets made, how platforms
operate, and how careers in this space will be built. The professionals who understand this shift—and
position themselves accordingly—will thrive. This masterclass exists because I've been on multiple sides of
this transformation: as a parliamentary researcher, a Big Tech policy professional, an internet governance
practitioner, and an educator. I've seen what's changing, what's staying the same, and what it takes to build
a career at this intersection.
What You Will Get
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Classify their current work using the Automate/Augment/Elevate framework, identifying which tasks face highest transformation pressure
2. Articulate India's AI governance approach and how it differs from EU and US models, including the IndiaAI Mission's structure and the guardrails-without-legislation philosophy
3. Analyse GenAI's role in electoral processes with specific reference to the 2024 Indian elections—deepfakes, voice cloning, platform responses, and regulatory gaps
4. Map career pathways at the GenAI-policy intersection across government (₹8-40 LPA), Big Tech (₹18-100+ LPA), think tanks (₹6-25 LPA), and consulting (₹21-80+ LPA)
5. Draft a personal 12-18 month roadmap with targeted direction, skills to build, experiences to seek,
and visibility moves to make
