Data Governance: The Invisible Killer That Destroyed Tech Giants Overnight | ESG | EP-8

Data Governance is no longer optional — it’s a matter of survival. In 2018, tech giants like Facebook, Marriott, Equifax and Yahoo lost billions of dollars almost overnight. Not because of a bad product. Not because of a financial crisis. But because of the total collapse of their invisible framework — Data Governance. In this deep-dive episode, we break down: • What really caused the 2018 Global Reckoning • Data Management vs Data Governance (Library vs Librarian analogy) • The 4 Core Principles every organization must follow • The biggest corporate myth: “IT Owns the Data” • How one European company saved €8 Million just by fixing ownership • Top-Down vs Bottom-Up vs Data Mesh approaches • India’s Data Governance Quality Index (DGQI) • Industry attack surfaces: Automobile, Pharma & Telecom • GDPR vs India’s DPDP Act 2023 • Why AI is both the best auditor and the biggest risk • The final unanswered question: Who will govern the AI Librarian? This is not just theory. This is the difference between building an empire and watching it collapse. #dataprivacy #datagovernance #ai #aigovernance #gdpr #dpdpact
