The Data Protection
23 Jun 2026Oberoi, New Delhi
As India moves closer to the full implementation of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework, organizations are entering a critical phase of compliance preparedness. With key obligations around consent management, children's data, Data Principal rights, governance, accountability, and breach notification expected to come into force by May 2027, businesses are now making significant operational, legal, and technological decisions.
To facilitate a constructive industry conversation, IAMAI is convening a select group of senior leaders for a closed-door dialogue focused on the practical realities of implementing data protection obligations at scale.
Conducted under Chatham House Rules, the discussion will provide an opportunity for candid exchange of perspectives, implementation experiences, emerging practices, and key areas where additional regulatory clarity may be required.
Why This Dialogue Matters
The Digital Personal Data Protection framework will require organizations to make significant changes to how personal data is collected, processed, governed, and protected. As implementation efforts gather pace, industry continues to grapple with questions relating to consent, children's privacy, Data Principal rights, governance requirements, breach notification, cross-border transfers, and AI-driven processing.
This dialogue provides a platform for senior industry leaders to discuss implementation challenges, share emerging approaches, and contribute to a broader understanding of what DPDP readiness will require in practice.
