The spotlight on data privacy and regulatory compliance in India has intensified. The arrival of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA / DPDP Act), coupled with rising expectations from consumers and regulators, has compelled enterprises to rethink how they handle data. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (Deloitte India) has announced a strategic alliance with OneTrust, one of the global leaders in privacy technology.
The aim of the Deloitte India and OneTrust partnership is to simplify and accelerate privacy compliance for Indian organizations, especially in light of the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), by combining Deloitte’s regulatory and implementation expertise with OneTrust’s advanced privacy technology platform.
“As businesses increasingly prioritise privacy as a competitive differentiator, our collaboration with OneTrust marks a significant milestone in enabling scalable, intelligent and future-ready privacy operations for our clients. Our shared vision is to embed trust, transparency, and responsible data use into the heart of digital transformation,” said Tarun Kaura, Partner, Deloitte India.
The collaboration will assist businesses in transforming compliance from a manual, resource-intensive task into a scalable, automated business function. It will also enable businesses to strengthen governance and accelerate innovation through consent, preference management, and end-to-end implementation support. By combining global best practices with local execution, the alliance allows Indian enterprises to embed privacy into their daily operations.
“As businesses prepare to keep pace with evolving data protection regulations, the need for clear governance structures and consistent privacy controls has never been more urgent. We help clients build these capabilities into the fabric of their operations. This alliance allows us to bring that approach to scale, combining Deloitte’s on-ground experience with OneTrust’s integrated and scalable platform to enable organisations to sustain compliance over time. This alliance allows organisations to streamline policies, improve data oversight and respond faster to regulatory changes,” said Mayuran Palanisamy, Partner, Deloitte India.
“Organisations across India are navigating a complex privacy landscape that requires a proactive and scalable approach. Deloitte India’s expertise in enterprise transformation and regulatory compliance, combined with the OneTrust platform’s extensive automated privacy and data governance capabilities, helps organisations meet DPDPA obligations with confidence. Through this alliance, organisations can accelerate innovation while ensuring trust and responsible data use,” said Ana Vertedor, Head of Partner Sales, International, OneTrust.
“Governance should be a catalyst for growth and responsible innovation. Our alliance with Deloitte India helps organisations automate and scale privacy, embedding DPDPA compliance into their business to drive trust and long-term value.” Said Arvind Chandrashekar, Regional GTM Leader, OneTrust.
