India just passed its first comprehensive data protection law, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act of India, after several years of consultations. Being the most populous country in the world with more than 1.4 billion people and one of the larger digital markets of the world, this development has piqued the interest of global companies and data protection researchers.
Please join The Internet Law & Policy Foundry for a webinar, "Commercial and Civil Society Perspectives on India's New Data Protection Law," hosted by Class Five Fellow Raktima Roy.
The panelists will highlight the commercial and civil society perspectives on this new law, from two of India's foremost experts on the subject:
- Kirti Mahapatra, Partner at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, one of India's largest law firms
- Jhalak Kakkar M. Kakkar, Executive Director at the Centre for Communication Governance (CCG), National Law University, Delhi, one of the leading think tanks in India.
