In this episode of Pharma Marketing Playbook – Data, Gen AI & Beyond, host Saumya Prakash (Multiplier AI) is joined by Saakshar Duggal, AI governance expert, cybercrime lawyer, and data protection attorney, to decode India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and its real impact on pharma and healthcare organizations.

This conversation goes beyond legal theory and focuses on practical risks, leadership accountability, and AI-driven data exposure that pharma, hospitals, and med-tech companies are facing today.

• Why DPDP is a ₹250 crore business risk, not just a legal formality

• Why 99% compliance still means non-compliance

• Hidden DPDP risks in CRMs, AI tools, vendors, and cloud platforms

• Consent, data deletion, legitimate use, and accountability explained simply

• Why DPDP is not GDPR and common misconceptions

• How pharma and healthcare leaders should start fixing data protection gaps now

This episode is essential for pharma CXOs, hospital leadership, compliance teams, marketing heads, and digital transformation leaders handling patient or HCP data.
