A practitioner-led forum
An initiative by the DPO Club, Bharat Privacy brings together the people who build and run privacy programmes across the country.
Built for implementation
The focus is what happens after the DPDP Act, 2023 is passed: turning principles into practice, structuring teams, and managing consent and data flows.
Privacy, now alongside AI
The 2026 edition places privacy where data protection and AI governance meet, so practitioners can work through consent, fairness and accountability together.
