Startups and technology providers are stepping into the AI-driven digital era, building solutions that address real business challenges. But with AI now embedded across products and platforms, data has become the currency that powers everything, from commerce and communications to customer experience and decision-making. As data volumes grow, so do concerns around how that information is collected, stored, and used.
Right now, it is certain that trust hinges on data protection.82% of Indian consumers say protection of personal data is the most critical factor in building trust with a brand. To address this widening trust gap and give individuals legal control over their digital footprint, India’s DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection) has come into effect.
With more at stake, compliance has also become more nuanced. Consent workflows must be traceable, data access auditable, and systems always ready for regulatory scrutiny. Manual processes don’t scale in this environment. Businesses now need automated, privacy-by-design solutions that can handle consent management, data discovery, governance, and reporting.
Against this backdrop, we spotlight five companies helping Indian enterprises stay compliant with DPDP obligations and help build compliant data foundations and strengthen customer trust.
