India's digital world is getting bigger, which means more people are online and more companies are using our data.
To keep our information safe, engineers like Chetan Urkudkar are building special systems called "clean rooms."
These clean rooms let companies share and use data without showing your personal information to everyone.
Think of it like a secret room where people can look at the data, but they can't take it or see the original details.
This helps businesses follow privacy rules and keep our data secure.
