1. Does it apply?

Yes if you offer goods/services to, or monitor, individuals in the EU/EEA. Many Indian SaaS and services companies are in scope.

2. The essentials

  • Map data and build a Record of Processing Activities.
  • Establish lawful bases and update notices/consent.
  • Implement data-subject rights and 72-hour breach notification.
  • Handle international transfers (SCCs).

3. A head start on DPDP

GDPR and India’s DPDP Act share principles, so a GDPR programme strongly accelerates DPDP readiness.
