India DPDPA Readiness: What to Watch Now

May 7, 2026 | 3:00 PM IST | 10:30 AM BST | 11:30 PM CEST | 5:30 AM EDT

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) represents a major evolution in how personal data is regulated, enforced, and governed across one of the world’s fastest‑growing digital economies. As the Act moves toward phased implementation, organizations are closely watching how rules, guidance, and enforcement expectations will take shape and what this means for privacy strategy in India and beyond.

In this OneTrust DataGuidance webinar, contributors from our global expert network come together for a moderated panel discussion examining India’s DPDPA in context. The session explores how the law fits into India’s broader regulatory trajectory, what privacy teams should be monitoring as secondary rules emerge, and how organizations are approaching readiness at a strategic—not just operational—level.

The panel will share expert perspectives on key themes under the DPDPA, including consent as the primary legal basis for processing, the evolving role of data principal rights, early enforcement signals, and practical considerations for multinational organizations operating in or engaging with India’s market. The discussion will also address how global privacy programs are adapting to India’s approach alongside other major regulatory regimes, offering insight into alignment, divergence, and long‑term planning.

Designed for privacy, legal, compliance, and risk leaders, this session provides critical context and forward‑looking analysis for organizations navigating India’s new data protection landscape.
