About SaralPrivacy

India's practical DPDPA education, assessment, and advisory platform.

SaralPrivacy is a practical DPDPA education, assessment, and advisory platform built for Indian businesses. It exists to turn dense privacy obligations into plain-English guidance, useful assessments, and implementation-focused resources by sector.

Who's behind this
DS
Dilip Sahu
Founder, SaralPrivacy

I built SaralPrivacy because Indian businesses don't need more legal theory — they need to know what to fix, in plain English. After two decades building finance, ERP and governance systems, I wanted DPDPA made genuinely practical for the people who actually run a business.

How SaralPrivacy Works

1

Understand

What DPDPA means for your business — in plain English, not legalese.

2

Discover

The personal data your business actually holds, across people and systems.

3

Assess

Your readiness through a free, sector-specific assessment.

4

Act

Prioritise consent, notices, access, vendors, retention, and breach readiness.

What SaralPrivacy Does

  • Free readiness assessments — Sector-specific questionnaires that surface the biggest DPDPA gaps in your business in 3–5 minutes, with a plain-English risk score and prioritised next steps.
  • Daily briefings — Short, practical updates on DPDPA developments, regulatory notices, and implementation guidance published regularly for Indian businesses.
  • Industry guides — Sector-specific compliance guidance across every industry we assess — from recruitment, CA firms and clinics to fintech, real estate and wellness — covering the specific risks and workflows that matter in each sector.
  • Guide — A practitioner guide updated for the DPDP Rules, 2025, covering applicability, consent, notices, rights, breach response, sector risks, and a 30-day action plan.
  • Advisory — Expert consultation for businesses that need specific guidance on their data flows, vendor agreements, consent architecture, or compliance priorities.

Who It Serves

SaralPrivacy is built for Indian businesses that process personal data as a routine part of their operations — not data protection specialists, but founders, operations leads, compliance managers, and senior staff who need to understand what to do and in what order.

Recruitment, CA firms and training institutes
D2C, clinics, pharmacies and hospitality
Schools, law firms and real estate
Fintech, NBFCs and wellness businesses
MSMEs across sectors processing customer or employee data
Founders and operations leads who need clarity, not commentary

Built With a Practitioner's Lens

SaralPrivacy is built with a practitioner's lens — by a digital-transformation and enterprise-applications leader with two decades across ERP, finance systems, workflow automation, governance, and system integration. The conviction behind it is simple: DPDPA readiness isn't only about reading the law — it's about translating it into the systems, workflows, access controls, vendor handoffs, and retention practices where personal data actually lives.

As seen in

SaralPrivacy's DPDPA readiness assessment has been featured in ANI, Business Standard, The Tribune, Lokmat Times, and Latestly.
