DPDP Act Readiness in Practice - Industry Insights from IT Leaders in Coimbatore | Vembu Meet
How prepared are Indian businesses for the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act? And what does data protection readiness look like in practice?
At Vembu Meet Coimbatore, industry leaders from finance, manufacturing, healthcare and technology came together for an engaging panel discussion on moving beyond regulatory compliance towards practical data protection and recovery readiness.

The discussion explores:
Industry-specific DPDP implementation: How organisations are interpreting and approaching DPDP requirements across different sectors.
Identifying readiness gaps: Why businesses need to assess their existing data protection practices, identify gaps and define clear action plans.
Shared responsibility: Who owns data protection and compliance? Understanding the roles of IT, Legal, Finance, Management and other business functions.
Management support and investment: How IT leaders can communicate risks, build management support and secure investments for data protection.
Incident and breach preparedness: Industry experiences, emerging challenges and the importance of being prepared to respond and recover.
The discussion brings together diverse industry perspectives on a common challenge: making data protection a shared organisational responsibility rather than treating it as just an IT or compliance requirement.
