AICloudStrategist delivers audit-grade DPDP evidence packs for Indian SaaS, D2C, healthtech, fintech, and edtech companies at fixed fees, in 15 days. Not Big-4 pricing. Not just a software subscription.
The DPDP Rules were notified in November 2025, with important obligations becoming operational through a phased timeline. Companies that process personal data now need a practical evidence trail for notices, consent, rights requests, grievance handling, vendors, and breach readiness. The gap between where many businesses are and where they need to be is still large, and the window to close it affordably is getting shorter.

Yes. The DPDP Act can apply to entities that process the personal data of Indian residents, regardless of company size. Startups that handle user accounts, payments, health data, or children's data should check their obligations early. Maximum penalty exposure can reach INR 250 crore for specified breaches.
A privacy policy is one of eight DPDP obligations — and EY found that 80% of Indian enterprises still have outdated policies. The Act also requires operational evidence: consent logging, data subject rights workflows, vendor registers, breach response procedures, and more. A policy document alone is not sufficient.
SaaS tools provide software infrastructure — consent banners, policy generators, and dashboards. Their contractual liability is typically capped at the subscription fee (often ₹25 lakh or less). AICloudStrategist provides the operational consulting, gap analysis, evidence documentation, and remediation roadmap that software alone cannot deliver.
For a Starter Review, we need your existing privacy policy (if any), a list of the tools and vendors you use to process personal data, and a brief description of your product and user base. The intake call on Day 1 covers the rest. No lengthy questionnaires before kickoff.
You receive the full evidence pack and a 30-60-90 day remediation roadmap. You can implement the roadmap independently, engage us for the full DPDP Readiness Sprint, or share the output with your legal counsel or board. There is no obligation to continue beyond the Starter Review.
Tell us about your business and we will confirm whether a DPDP Starter Review is the right fit, what the scope would look like, and what the fixed fee would be. No commitment required.
