The initial phase revealed a significant lack of awareness. Many Data Principals—our consumers and subscribers—were unfamiliar with the new privacy law.
Some perceived it as a hurdle to exploring online services. Organizations, too, were caught off guard, with many either unaware of the law's enactment or mistakenly believing it wouldn’t affect them. The gap in understanding and preparedness was evident.

The tide began to turn. Awareness among Data Principals started to rise—an essential milestone in a nation of 140 crore people. Even a small percentage becoming aware of their rights under the DPDP Act was worth celebrating.
Simultaneously, organizations began seeking guidance, reaching out to IT and legal teams, and consulting with law firms. The momentum towards proactive engagement was underway.

Awareness continued to grow, driven by headlines of data breaches in sectors like health, telecom, and BFSI. Data Principals are now more cautious, sharing personal data only with trusted businesses.
On the other side, organisations are actively seeking consultants and tools to manage consent in compliance with the law, and are investing in training programs to ensure their teams are well-prepared.
