As India cements its position as one of the world's leading technology and outsourcing hubs, international organisations face an increasingly complex cyber, legal, and regulatory environment.
In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with N.S. Nappinai, Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India and one of the country's leading experts on cyber law, data protection, and digital governance.
The conversation explores how businesses can navigate India's rapidly evolving cyber and data protection landscape while balancing innovation, compliance, and operational resilience. From outsourcing technology services and cross-border data transfers to AI-enabled cyber threats and emerging regulation, this episode examines the risks and opportunities facing organisations operating in one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies.
Nappinai explains how India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) compares with the EU's GDPR, why legal compliance alone is not enough to manage cyber risk, and what multinational organisations should consider when building resilient governance frameworks in India.
