India’s DPDPA: Sectoral Analysis of BFSI, Healthcare, E-Commerce, Entertainment & GCCs
Overview
India’s DPDP Act is now in force – and the compliance clock is ticking.
With penalties reaching Rs. 250 crore (~US$30m) per violation and a Data Protection Board to monitor, every organisation processing personal data in India faces real, immediate risk. But generic compliance guidance falls short. This webinar delivers sector-specific, actionable clarity on the DPDP Act.
BFSI & Fintech: Balancing DPDPA consent obligations with RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI mandates; aligning Consent Manager rules; managing KYC data pipelines; and handling cross-border financial data flows under the new negative-list transfer regime.
Healthcare, Pharma & Medical Devices: Obtaining consent for processing sensitive health data; Exemptions provided under the DPDP Act.
E-Commerce & Quick Commerce: Consent at scale and Significant Data Fiduciary; eliminating dark patterns; minors’ data and parental consent; and third-party vendor sharing.
ONline Entertainment: OTT viewer data and personalisation; algorithmic recommendation engines; ad-targeting compliance; gaming platform obligations; and children’s online safety mandates.
GCCs & Cross-Border Transfers: The new negative-list transfer framework; transfer of data to India from GDPR territories; data localisation risk; cloud employee data management.
Join our expert panel for a frank industry-by-industry analysis of what DPDPA means for your business right now.
