In today’s digital-first world, data is the most valuable asset — and protecting it is no longer optional. With the enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, organizations across India are facing a pivotal moment to realign their data practices with the latest regulatory expectations.
Whether you’re a startup handling user information or an enterprise managing large-scale personal data operations, DPDP compliance is now a legal and operational imperative. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, reputational damage, and legal consequences.
