ID-PRIVACY: India’s Defining Leap in Digital Privacy Under DPDPA

A PoV By Dr. Damodar Sahu, Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer, Data Safeguard Inc.

India’s Moment Has Arrived. The World is Watching.

India is not just undergoing a digital transformation—it’s architecting a digital civilization. With 1.4 billion digital identities, an ever-expanding startup ecosystem, and data flowing through every facet of daily life, our nation stands at the forefront of the global digital economy.

Yet, with this scale comes responsibility. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023 is not merely a legislative milestone—it is a declaration of India’s intent to enshrine data dignity as a fundamental right, to empower citizens as data principals, and to demand accountability from those who collect and process their information.

DPDPA: A New Social Contract for the Data Age

India’s DPDPA marks the rise of Digital Federalism—where each entity, public or private, is a steward of trust. It recognizes that privacy is not a passive right, but an active practice—a culture that must be deeply embedded into the digital DNA of every enterprise and institution.

But to bridge this vision with execution, we need more than regulation. We need innovation. And that’s exactly what ID-PRIVACY brings to the table.

ID-PRIVACY: The Engine of India’s Privacy Revolution

Data Safeguard’s ID-PRIVACY isn’t just software—it’s a movement. Purpose-built for India’s regulatory, linguistic, and infrastructural complexity, ID-PRIVACY is a zero-code, AI-powered Privacy management platform, compliance-automation suite that turns the DPDPA’s legal requirements into living, breathing digital workflows.
It addresses the full spectrum of DPDPA’s intent—from consent orchestration and breach response to data localization, audit readiness, and data principal rights automation. But more importantly, it does so with empathy—for the CXOs, for the compliance teams, and for the everyday user who deserves transparency and control.

Privacy, by Design. At Scale. For Bharat.
From the Jagannath Dham of Odisha to the tech corridors of Bengaluru, ID-PRIVACY is engineered with inclusivity and scalability in mind. It’s the only enterprise-grade platform to combine:

•    🇮🇳 Localized Consent and Purpose Management (Sections 5, 7, 8 of DPDPA)
•    Automated Breach Notifications with real-time Data Principal alerts
•    AI-driven Privacy Copilot for DPOs, Boards & CXOs
•    Cross-border Data Governance with contextual redaction
•     Hybrid-Cloud Deployments with Data Localization Compliance
•    Deployed in two weeks. ROI in four.

A Call to Action: Making Privacy India’s Soft Power

India now has a chance to lead not just in digital scale—but in ethical digital leadership. Just as Aadhaar redefined identity, and UPI redefined payments, DPDPA backed by platforms like ID-PRIVACY can redefine trust.

Our goal is not limited to compliance. It is to seed a privacy-first innovation culture, where businesses build trust at every touchpoint, citizens reclaim agency over their data, and India inspires the world with its democratic approach to data governance.

Built in India. For India. Ready for the World.

With R&D rooted in Bhubaneswar, regional hubs across Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune, and a fast-growing ecosystem of partners, Data Safeguard’s ID-PRIVACY is poised to be India’s digital sentinel in this privacy era.
