FDPPI thanks the team of Dr Anirban Ghosh, Sathyavageeswaran, Ramesh Kauta and Subbarayudu Tallapragada for facilitating this “Data Privacy Pledge” as a concept.

Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022 is here.  It is time for organizations to start planning for compliance.

FDPPI is preparing itself to meet the demand for Consultancy regarding Data Protection Compliance in India by setting up a separate division to provide the services.

For this purpose FDPPI will be providing an affiliation to the Federation of Data Protection Consultants (FDPC) and provide a platform for rendering the services by accredited service providers.

FDPPI will continue its activities as a Privacy Advocacy platform and the consultancy would be undertaken by FDPC.  Every member of FDPC needs to be affiliated to FDPPI.

Accreditation will be based on application and review by the Board. A fee will be prescribed for accreditation. The accreditation fee will be waived upto December 31, 2022 for  supporting members and corporate members.

An appropriate accreditation form will be available for application.

FDPC will be managed as a profit center by a designated professional.

FDPPI is dedicated as a Not for profit organization to render various activities related to Data Protection.

However, FDPPI is an organization which has adopted the banyan model of development where we will encourage multiple branches to grow and establish roots of their own so that the banyan tree is supported by many. Presently the stem is represented by the patron members who have dedicated themselves to the development of FDPPI. In due course other supporting members are expected to start developing themselves into supporting the tree by becoming its aerial routes that grow into the ground.

The Banyan tree is expected to be eternal and even after the trunk is lost, the tree will survive. FDPPI is one such organization which has to grow indefinitely.

In tune with this policy, FDPPI is in the process of re-launching its Consultancy operations under a special Data Protection Compliance Consultancy window. This window will be headed by a professional as a “Profit Center Manager”. Under the plan, the surplus generated by the division will be shared with the Profit Center manager as a variable revenue.
