Draft DPDP Rules, 2025 – The Question of Children’s Data


With India's DPDP Rules setting 18 as the age of digital consent, critical questions arise:

  1. Are we safeguarding children or restricting their autonomy?
  2. How feasible is age verification in a diverse, digital-first world?
  3. Could these rules disproportionately impact girls & marginalized groups?


Join the discussion as experts unpack the legal, societal, and technological implications of India’s recent draft DPDP rules for child data protection. Ms. Vaishnavi, Founder, Vyanams Strategies (VYS). Mr. Shantaram Jonnalagadda, Director, Yoti Biometric Identity Pvt Ltd.


Moderator- Dr. Manish Tiwari, Director, Institute for Governance, Policies and Politics
