DPDPA India for CISOs: A Pragmatic Approach to Essentials vs. Hearsay

An Executive Dialogue on What Really Matters for DPDPA Readiness

As organizations prepare for India’s evolving privacy landscape, CISOs are being flooded with opinions, interpretations, and conflicting guidance about the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA). The challenge is no longer understanding the law itself, but separating practical compliance requirements from speculation and hearsay.

While conversations around DPDPA continue to evolve, many security and compliance leaders are asking the same question: What do we actually need to implement today to build a defensible readiness program?

Join Dr. Ravi Lingarkar and Santu Chakravorty for a pragmatic executive discussion focused on the essentials of DPDPA readiness. This session will explore the core mandates organizations should understand, the controls and processes that deserve immediate attention, how existing compliance investments can be leveraged, and where automation can help accelerate operational readiness without creating unnecessary complexity.

Why This Conversation Matters

DPDPA readiness does not require organizations to rebuild their compliance programs from the ground up.

Many organizations already have the foundations for DPDPA compliance. The challenge is identifying the most important gaps and prioritizing the right actions. 

This executive dialogue is designed to help CISOs & security leaders move beyond uncertainty and gain a practical understanding of the actions that can create meaningful readiness today.

Focus on What Matters Most for DPDPA Readiness

Join this executive discussion to separate facts from assumptions, understand the essentials of DPDPA compliance, and learn how organizations can accelerate readiness through practical governance, existing controls, and intelligent automation.
