From India to the World: The Rise of a New Data Protection Era

India has officially enforced implemented its Digital Personal Data Protection Act and Rules on 13 November 2025, giving a deadline of 18 months for companies to comply to the act. This marks a watershed moment in global privacy regulation. With a population of over 1.4 billion and one of the fastest-growing digital economies, India’s framework is poised to reshape how multinational companies approach compliance, cross-border data flows and digital trust.

This panel will unpack key provisions of the DPDPA, explore its unique features, and evaluate how it aligns or diverges from established regimes like the EU GDPR and U.K. Data Protection Act. Attendees will gain practical insights into navigating India’s regulatory landscape while balancing global compliance obligations. 

What you will learn:

• Understand the scope, principles and obligations under India’s DPDPA and Rules.
• Compare India’s framework with GDPR, U.K., Singapore and other data protection laws.
• Evaluate the operational challenges for global businesses, including consent management, cross-border transfers and incident / breach reporting.
