Seminar "India's Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025"

Ikigai Law & S&K Brussels LPC Seminar "India's Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025"

Ikigai Law and S&K Brussels are pleased to invite you to a compliance seminar on the Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 (DPDP Rules). This seminar follows the previous webinar held in New Delhi on January 29, 2025, which focused on the India DPDP Rules. The public consultation period for the DPDP Rules ended on March 5, 2025. Unlike the previous session, which primarily provided an overview of the DPDP Rules, this seminar will focus on the practical steps and methods for corporate compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act) and DPDP Rules.

This time, a visiting foreign attorney from Ikigai Law's Bangalore and New Delhi offices will deliver an in-person presentation in Japanese in central Bangalore. We strongly encourage Japanese business professionals in the Bangalore area to attend the session in person, as this will provide an excellent opportunity for direct engagement.

Indian and Japanese data protection specialists will guide you through the implications and key obligations under the DPDP Act and Rules, along with a comprehensive project plan for achieving compliance. The session will be conducted in English, except for the presentation by S&K Brussels LPC, which will be delivered in Japanese. We look forward to welcoming you to the seminar.
