PDP Bill Clearance Marks Landmark Moment in India's Tech Journey

Therefore we welcome the passing of the bill. It does the job of putting together a starting framework to govern and protect data. However, it is important to note this is still the first step. Implementation, compliance and adoption across sectors are key.

Post-pandemic tackling inflation, we need to ensure business isn’t impacted by the additional investments needed to support this transition. Particularly MSMEs which may have limited budget and technology awareness. Further, it is the tech industry’s responsibility that we simplify, and decode this bill for our customers. Make the transition as smooth as possible rather than merely look at it as an opportunity to endorse our services!”
