Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 is Live

Is your business ready for upto 250 Cr DPDP penalty?

Many founders assume data privacy laws only apply to massive tech companies. The truth is, whether you process data in India or handle the data of Indians located outside India, you are likely liable. Let's find out.

Is DPDP applicable to you?

Click any of the boxes below that apply to your current business operations. If you select even one, you are legally required to comply with the DPDP Act, 2023.

Client personal data

Names, emails, phone numbers, addresses which are collected directly or indirectly for sales, marketing, CRM, or invoicing.

Employee and HR records

Payroll, KYC documents, benefits, or resumes collected for recruitment.

Website tracking and forms

Contact forms, lead magnets, newsletter signups, or tracking analytics and cookies.

Third-party software (SaaS)

Cloud storage, accounting software, or marketing tools storing contact info.

Vendor data sharing

Business contact data shared with consultants, delivery partners, or freelancers.

CCTV and digital logs

Visitor logs, CCTV cameras, or biometric and behavioural data.

The ROI of Compliance

Data is the new oil.
Protecting it is your best investment.

Treating DPDP as just a legal hurdle is a mistake. When implemented strategically, data privacy transforms from a cost center into a powerful business asset.

No more exposure

Penalties go up to ₹250 Cr, and founders can be held personally liable. One clean framework closes that gap, for the business and for you.

Faster deals, fewer delays

Enterprise buyers now ask for DPDP compliance before they sign. Walk in compliant and skip weeks of security back and forth.

Trust that retains customers

People stay with businesses that visibly protect their data. Compliance isn't just defense, it's what keeps customers coming back.

Marketing, the right way

Reaching people without explicit consent is over. Build consent into your campaigns now, or lose the ability to run them at all.

The Law, Decoded

The Wild West for data is over.

DPDP is India's first real privacy law. Power moves from companies to the people whose data they hold, and these four shifts are just the start.

"You do not own your customers' data. You are only borrowing it, and you must protect it."

Consent, not assumption

No more pre-ticked boxes or buried fine print. Every "yes" must be clear, specific, and given knowingly.

Use it only for what you said

Collected a number for delivery? You can't reuse it for marketing. Each purpose needs its own consent.

Deletion on demand

Anyone can withdraw consent and demand their data be erased, and you're required to act on it.

You're accountable, not your vendor

If a partner's system gets breached, the liability still lands on you.

Step 1

Gap Assessment

Every data flow traced, exposure scored in business terms — delivered as a prioritised risk map and a board-ready remediation roadmap.

Consent framework, privacy notices, vendor DPAs and breach SOP — designed, documented and deployed. Rigorous enough to withstand audit; lean enough for operations to absorb.

Flagship
Step 3

Virtual DPO (vDPO)

Our ongoing engagement. We carry the DPO function month to month — consent records, grievance handling, breach response and board reporting — so compliance stays live, without the overhead of an in-house appointment.

Step 4

Privacy Training

Role-calibrated training across staff and leadership. Delivered until data protection becomes standard practice, not a compliance reminder.

Step 5

SDF & Audit Readiness

DPIAs, independent audit facilitation and board-level reporting — structured to meet the enhanced obligations of Significant Data Fiduciaries and entities processing children's data.

The Techno Financial Advantage

Most privacy consultants approach the DPDP Act purely as a legal exercise. As former finance leaders for global Fortune 500s, we view compliance through the lens of business risk and operational efficiency.
