Migration can disrupt established social networks, making it challenging for an individual to establish and build new connections. The research employed a qualitative approach, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with migrant workers residing in Bengaluru. The findings provide contextual information on the causes of social isolation and help acquire more knowledge on how migration and digital literacy relate and influence social isolation. It prioritises individual experience over statistical data, with an increased understanding of the drivers of social isolation. Advanced digital literacy, on the other hand, can reduce social isolation by enabling migrants to maintain connections with their immediate family, access information, and develop innovative social networks. The research study's findings had a significant impact on policies and employers, highlighting the importance of social integration and mental health.
