Following the success of our inaugural edition in 2025, we are pleased to announce the second edition of the DSCI Data Protection Summit (DDPS) 2026 – scheduled for 12th February 2026 at JW Marriott, Juhu, Mumbai.

While last year's summit focused on understanding the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), this year we shift our attention to what matters most now: Implementation. With the DPDPA rules now in place and organizations facing a compliance deadline for May 2027 the journey from policy to practice has begun. Building on the success of its previous edition, the DSCI Data Protection Summit 2026 comes at a pivotal moment as organisations continue to navigate the implementation of India’s DPDP Act while aligning with evolving global privacy standards. Through expert-led sessions, interactive workshops, and strategic discussions, the summit will offer practical insights into transforming compliance challenges into opportunities for building trust and strengthening privacy governance. DDPS 2026 is all set to be the perfect congregation of privacy & cybersecurity community, policy makers & think tanks and regulators. The initiative will be focusing on DPDPA Implementation.
