Indian technical professionals should start working in law and help the government and justices to update nations laws in tune with the fast changing technical environment. Security and privacy are critical and the legal profession should understand the technical implications of the laws and judgements.

India should also learn from the US and other technically advanced countries and leapfrog them where possible. For example, India can and should develop a better alternative to the Do Not call List now in vogue in the US. If a person does not want a particular number to call them, they should be able to click a button or icon on the phone or a set of keys and the number should go to a central database managed by a government sponsored agency. By applying Data Analytics, the agency can find out if a number is on the unwanted list of too many people. Such callers are usually scammers that try to cheat innocent users. The agency can go after them. For a government agency, it is somewhat easier to catch even VOIP users. Of course, government may have to develop international agreements to catch international spammers. If these people are nipped in the bud, there will be fewer big online robbers.
