Grant Thornton Bharat hosted the first session of its DPDPA Webinar Series, DPDPA Decoded: What it means for businesses in 2026.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) marks a significant milestone in India’s digital ecosystem. With phased implementation beginning in 2026, the session highlighted why organisations must move beyond compliance and view privacy as a strategic enabler. 

This inaugural discussion set the foundation for the series, offering clarity on the Act, its rules, timelines, and the broader implications for businesses.
