Impactful Policy Frameworks
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act)
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is India's comprehensive law regulating the processing of digital personal data, focusing on consent, data fiduciaries' obligations, and data principals' rights.
This act will require B2B SaaS companies, especially those handling sensitive data, to implement robust data protection measures, impacting product design, data handling practices, and cross-border data flows.
Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023
The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023, strengthens the Competition Commission of India's powers, expands the definition of cartel, introduces a deal value threshold for mergers, and provides for faster review of M&A transactions.
This policy could impact larger exits or consolidation strategies for successful B2B SaaS companies by imposing stricter merger control regulations and potentially extending review periods.
Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules, 2021 (IT Rules, 2021)
The IT Rules, 2021, regulate social media intermediaries and digital news publishers, imposing due diligence requirements, grievance redressal mechanisms, and content moderation obligations.
While primarily for social media, these rules set a precedent for digital platform accountability, potentially influencing future regulations on B2B SaaS platforms that facilitate user-generated content or communication, especially for those targeting global markets.
