Enterprises Rush to Comply with DPDP Act
A new law in India called the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act requires companies to protect people's personal data.
Since the rules were announced, many big companies have started working on following these rules before the deadline in 2027.
They are asking for help from tech platforms to manage their data better.
Big companies might take up to a year to be ready, while smaller ones can do it in about 20 days.
Everyone is trying to understand where all the data is and how to keep it safe.
The goal is to show they are following the rules while also keeping their business running smoothly.
Enterprises are starting to implement the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act with a deadline set for 2027.
Tech platforms are seeing a significant increase in demand for data management services, especially from large enterprises.
Key sectors driving demand include BFSI, fintech, and digital platforms, seeking end-to-end compliance services.
Implementation time varies, with large firms taking up to 12 months and smaller companies completing the process in about 20 days.
Companies are approaching compliance in a phased manner, focusing on achieving minimum viable protection initially.
