In the annual flagship event of FDPPI, namely the Indian Data Protection Summit 2024 (IDPS 2024) set to be held on November 30 and December 1, 2024 at Bengaluru, FDPPI recognizes those who contribute to Privacy and Data Protection in India.
Yesterday we lost Justice K S. Puttaswamy who had contributed to the rising of the Privacy Consciousness in India leading to the passing of DPDPA 2023. FDPPI had the satisfaction of recognizing him with a title of “Privacy Pitamaha” during our 2023 AGM. Continuing our appreciation of his contribution to the Privacy eco system in India, FDPPI has decided that this year, the “Privacy Advocate of the year Award” would be “Dedicated to the memory of the Privacy Pitamaha, Late Justice Sri K.S.Puttaswamy”.
Nominations will be open upto 10th November 2024 and the nomination form would be available here https://fdppi.iletsolutions.com/idps-2024-award-nominations.
There will also be 4 other categories of awards namely “Privacy Knight”, “Privacy Squad”, Privacy Champion (Organization) and “Privacy Innovator”. Out of these, the Privacy Champion Award would be “Dedicated to the memory of Padma Vibhushan, Late Sri Ratan Tata”.
We hope that these leaders who have left this world will continue to inspire our professionals through these awards.
