Implementing Srikrishna Panel recommendations will boost Indian IT companies: T V Mohandas Pai
“The report has one big benefit. Our globally competitive and dominant IT services companies will get a big boost.
For many years, there was concern among their global clients about giving access to their data as India did not have a data privacy law. With a new law this concern will diminish,” he told PTI.
Pai said all three big issues – data ownership and use, data privacy and data residency – have been addressed in the recommendations.
He also said the big issue concerning mandatory storing of data in India as suggested by Srikrishna Panel, is enforcement and regulation through a Data Protection Authority.
“The report suggests data residency of all private sensitive data to be located in India, a person’s data will be his or her personal property and cannot be used by anybody without prior explicit permission.
