Tag - The Future of Data Protection in India

A data protection law must grapple both with the needs of the present and the possibilities of the future. We cannot remain stuck in the past.

We must create regulation for data protection not from an ivory tower, but after understanding what the individuals affected by it want.

In which we kick off yet another Brainstorm discussion.
