The New Rules for CSR Data Are Already Here

The DPDP Act is now in force, and its obligations reach every organisation that handles personal data - including CSR teams and their NGO partners. Most CSR programmes still collect consent, store beneficiary data, and report to funders in ways the law no longer allows.

This session cuts through the legal complexity and shows you, in plain terms, where the risks are and what to fix - while there is still time before the 2027 deadline.
