DPDP Act for BFSI: What Every Institution Must Do Now
For most compliance leaders, the honest answer on DPDP readiness sits between "we've read the Act" and "we've mapped what it means for us." Here's what DPDP requires, where BFSI institutions typically fall short, and what a credible first step looks like.
