Our Senior Partner, Sumit Ghoshal, attended and shared his views on the Workshop conducted on - “My Data or Yours?” Unravelling Multi-Party Privacy (MPP) Among Consumers of Digital Credit in India’ hosted by IIIT-Bangalore Placement Office and CUTS International on Aug 27, 2024 to discuss the complexity of Multi-Party Privacy (MPP) within the country’s evolving digital lending sector. He shared his views on the multi-party privacy (MPP) concerns in digital finance, particularly in the context of digital lending platforms, how the lack of a strong data protection law in India complicates the privacy risks associated with the use of alternative and/or co-owned data in digital lending and the potential regulatory and/ or technological measures that could minimize MPP concerns. In the Workshop, Sumit discussed the high costs incurred by digital lending platforms in complying with multiple regulations (e.g., DPDP Act, Consumer Protection Act, Digital Lending guidelines). He stressed the need for integrating all rules and regulations into a unified framework.
