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.

Comprehensive, end-to-end data privacy solutions designed for scaling Indian enterprises. We don't just advise; we implement.

View all services
Step 1

Gap assessment

We trace every data flow, collection, storage, sharing, vendors, and score your exposure in business terms, not legalese. You leave with a ranked risk map and a roadmap your board can fund.

Step 2

Implementation

We build the controls, not just name them: consent managers, privacy policies, vendor clauses, data mapping. Designed the way an auditor would, tight enough to hold up, light enough that operations keep moving.

Step 3

Virtual DPO (vDPO)

Compliance is ongoing, not a one-time fix. We run your DPO function, consent, grievances, breach response, board reporting, so you stay covered without a costly in-house hire.

Step 4

Privacy training

Controls fail when people don't follow them. We train your teams, staff to leadership, until privacy is how they work, not a policy they forgot.

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.
