Picture this: You're sipping your morning chai, scrolling through your phone. In those few moments, your personal data has already traveled across three continents. Scary? Maybe. Inevitable? Not quite.
Welcome to India's digital revolution, where data protection isn't just corporate jargon – it's your digital lifeline. But let's face it: making sense of terms like "data fiduciary" and "privacy by design" can feel like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded.
That's where this book comes in. Whether you're a tech-savvy professional worrying about your digital footprint, a business leader grappling with DPDPA compliance, or simply someone who wants to understand what happens to your data every time you click "I Agree," you'll find practical answers here.
Drawing from over a decade of experience in global privacy and data protection, Dr. Ketan Modh breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, actionable insights. You'll discover:
How to take control of your personal data (without becoming a tech hermit)
What India's new data protection law means for you and your business
Practical strategies that work in the real world, not just on paper
How to turn data protection from a headache into a competitive advantage
No technical jargon, no legal maze – just clear, practical guidance for navigating India's data protection landscape. Because in today's digital India, data protection isn't optional – it's essential.
Ketan Modh, PhD
Ketan Modh, PhD has spent over a decade bridging the gap between privacy principles and real-world practices. At first glance, you might peg him as just another privacy expert with impressive credentials – a double doctorate in Law, an LLM in Law and Digital Technologies, and experience advising Fortune 50 companies. But what really drives him is making data protection accessible to everyone, from tech giants to small business owners to everyday smartphone users.
As a privacy advisory professional at a Big 4 consulting firm, Ketan has seen firsthand how Indian organizations struggle with data protection. He's helped startups find their privacy footing, guided multinational corporations through compliance mazes, and shown traditional businesses how to thrive in the digital age. His work has taken him from corporate boardrooms to academic halls, where he's served as a lecturer at the University of Malta, breaking down complex privacy concepts for the next generation of professionals.
When he's not demystifying data protection, Ketan works with international bodies to shape global privacy standards. His research and insights have been presented at the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, but his heart remains in India, where he believes the future of global data protection innovation lies.
Through this book, Ketan brings his practical experience and academic expertise back home, offering Indians a clear path through the data protection maze. His mission? To help build a privacy-conscious digital India, one reader at a time.
