EU Representative for Indian Companies
GDPR Article 27 compliance for Indian businesses with EU customers. India has DPDP Act but still needs separate EU compliance.
For Indian Businesses
- India’s DPDP Act (2023) is similar to GDPR but does NOT replace EU requirements
- Indian companies with EU customers need a separate EU Representative under Article 27
- IT/software export, BPO, and SaaS companies are most affected
- EU Shield: €490/year for full compliance
GDPR vs India’s DPDP Act
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023) is India’s first comprehensive data protection law. While it shares similarities with GDPR, it is a separate legal framework. Indian businesses selling into the EU or processing EU residents’ data must comply with both laws independently.
Who Needs This?
Indian IT services companies, SaaS businesses, e-commerce platforms, BPOs, and any Indian company that processes personal data of EU residents. India’s large IT export sector is particularly affected — if your software processes EU user data, Article 27 applies.
