The Indo-French Chamber of Commerce & Industry (IFCCI), in association with Khaitan & Co, organised a webinar on “Navigating India’s New Data Protection Regime (DPDP Act 2023)” on 16th December 2025.
The session featured insights from the following industry experts who unpacked the DPDP Act’s implementation roadmap, compliance timelines, enhanced penalties, cross-border data transfers, and alignment with GDPR:
Supratim Chakraborty – Partner, Corporate & M&A; Privacy & Data Protection; Technology, Media & Telecom, Khaitan & Co
Sumantra Bose – Counsel, Corporate & Commercial; Privacy & Data Protection, Khaitan & Co
Key takeaways:
The DPDP Act introduces a phased but firm compliance timeline—early preparation is essential
Breach reporting and penalty exposure require stronger internal governance and controls
Cross-border data transfers remain permissible but demand careful, future-ready structuring
GDPR compliance is a strong foundation, but India-specific gaps must be addressed
Data protection is now a board-level and business-wide responsibility, not just a legal one
The webinar concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where the expert speakers addressed questions from the audience, followed by closing remarks from IFCCI.
We thank all attendees for their participation and look forward to seeing you at our next session.
