DPDPA: The law that will redesign India’s data economy
A conversation with Anandaday Misshra, Founder & Managing Partner of AMLEGALS, on why every organisation in India must rethink its relationship with personal data.
What this conversation unpacks
India generates some of the largest volumes of personal data in the world. Every UPI transaction, every digital KYC verification, and every healthcare record leaves a trail of data moving across platforms, organisations, and infrastructure. For years, companies treated this as an asset to be maximised. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is forcing them to rethink.
Yet DPDPA compliance isn’t just a milestone to check off. It represents a fundamental shift in how organisations think about data ownership, accountability, and digital trust, and it raises harder questions than most businesses are prepared to answer.
The Agenda
- 01What is driving India’s push for the DPDPA?
- 02How the DPDPA compares to the GDPR
- 03Consent is no longer just a check box
- 04Shadow AI and the ₹250 crore compliance risk hiding in plain sight
- 05What enforcement will realistically look like in India
- 06Why privacy is moving into the boardroom
“Organisations that treat the DPDPA as a check box exercise may be in for the most painful surprise when enforcement becomes real.”
