Privacy Isn’t Just a Rule—It Could Be Your Business’s Biggest Advantage | Cyber Sunday EP-27

Privacy is often treated as a legal requirement—a checklist of policies, consent notices, and compliance obligations. But what if privacy is much more than that? What if the way an organisation handles people's data can directly influence trust, reputation, customer loyalty, and long-term business growth? In Cyber Sunday Episode 27, “Beyond Compliance: Making Privacy a Business Advantage,” we explore how organisations can move beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements and begin treating privacy as a strategic advantage. The session provides valuable insights into: • Why privacy should go beyond regulatory compliance • How responsible data practices can build customer trust • Understanding data privacy and DPDPA requirements • Turning privacy into a strategic business advantage • Strengthening organisational privacy and governance • The relationship between privacy, reputation, and customer confidence • Building a privacy-conscious organisational culture • Why responsible data handling matters in the long term The discussion focuses on an important shift in mindset: privacy should not be viewed merely as something an organisation has to comply with, but as something that can strengthen the relationship between a business and the people who trust it with their data. About the Speaker The session is led by Adv. Akansha Bhatt, Advocate, Data Privacy & DPDPA Specialist, Partner at G Giri & Partners LLP, and Lead – Data Privacy Consulting at Consently Consulting. With expertise in data privacy and the evolving DPDPA landscape, she brings a professional and legal perspective to understanding how organisations can approach privacy beyond the traditional compliance mindset.
