About 3rd Annual Customer Privacy & Data Protection India Summit 2026

India's data protection landscape is undergoing a major transformation with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, officially notified in November 2025 - marking a landmark shift in how organisations must collect, manage, store, and protect personal data. As organisations prepare for phased implementation, the need to strengthen governance, streamline data-handling practices, and enhance privacy-by-design has become critical.

The 2026 edition arrives at a crucial time. As organisations prepare for phased enforcement and increased oversight under the DPDP Act - along with expectations around breach reporting, privacy-by-design, data minimisation, security safeguards, and grievance redressal - there is a clear need for cross-industry alignment and knowledge sharing.

With diverse perspectives from BFSI, e-commerce, telecom, healthcare, manufacturing, technology, consulting, and more, this platform will help organisations interpret the evolving requirements and strengthen their preparedness for an increasingly regulated data environment.
