BSA Country Manager Speaks on Panel About India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act
Medianama, November 6, 2023
BSA Country Manager, India Venkatesh Krishnamoorthy discussed how the Digital Personal Data Protection Act will impact companies across the country.
Venkatesh Krishnamoorthy of BSA, The Software Alliance pointed out that sectors such as healthcare and finance have a hodgepodge of regulations. This uncertainty of regulation leaves companies with the challenge of creating a product that both “takes care of sensitive data, and also complies with all the regulations that [the product] fit[s] in. So, this is going to be a big realm of challenge,” he explained.
“Let’s be very clear that the overarching DPDP Act looks only at privacy, whereas the sectoral regulators’ understanding of privacy is going to be extremely different,” he said. He gave the example of healthcare providers who may be concerned about cross-border flows of not just personal data but other kinds of data which they will define through DISHA [Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act] or any other healthcare regulations."
