Sareeta Amrute

About the Author

Sareeta Amrute is an anthropologist and scholar whose work explores the intersections of technology, migration, and social inequality in the global digital economy. Drawing from her extensive fieldwork among Indian IT professionals navigating life in Berlin, she examines how racial and class dynamics are encoded into the seemingly neutral world of software development and transnational labor. Amrute's research challenges conventional narratives of tech innovation by highlighting the human costs of outsourcing and digital mobility, offering nuanced insights into the lives of workers caught between cultural displacement and economic precarity. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges anthropology, science and technology studies, and critical race theory, making her a vital voice in understanding the hidden hierarchies of the information age.
