In chapter thirteen, Shankar positions Sahaayaka and its leadership within the emerging politics of digital saviorism in India. Shankar shows how Sahaayaka's brown saviors grapple with the particularities of technological fixations and digital caste systems in both India and the United States. In particular, Shankar focuses on how CEO Krish develops a new way of understanding Sahaayaka's digital future through his travels back and forth between California's Silicon Valley and Bangalore's Silicon Valley.
