Data Privacy Day, observed on 28 January, is increasingly shaping enterprise conversations around moving beyond regulatory compliance to embedding trust, resilience, and responsible AI into digital growth strategies.
As organisations accelerate cloud adoption and AI-led transformation, cybersecurity and data protection are now viewed as strategic business enablers critical to safeguarding continuity, governance, and stakeholder confidence.
Industry leaders note that as digital systems become central to operations, privacy-first frameworks, intelligence-driven security, and system-level accountability are redefining how businesses manage risk while scaling innovation.

Data Privacy Day Emphasises Trust-Led Cybersecurity for Resilient Businesses
Speaking on Data Privacy Day, Vaibhav Patkar, Risk & Security Solutions Advisor at Orient Technologies Limited, highlighted that the focus has expanded from compliance to building long-term trust and resilience in a digital-first economy.
As enterprises scale cloud environments and deploy AI across operations, effective cyber-risk management is becoming critical to protecting business continuity and stakeholder confidence.
A comprehensive security approach – covering cloud, endpoint, and network environments – supported by real-time monitoring and AI-driven incident response enables organisations to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Aligning cybersecurity practices with global standards further strengthens privacy, governance, and the ability to innovate securely and sustainably.

Data Privacy Day Highlights System-Level Accountability in Recommerce and Device Reuse
On Data Privacy Day, recommerce platform Cashify shared its perspective on the growing importance of data protection in a digital and device-driven economy.
As data collection becomes intrinsic to daily digital interactions across social platforms, e-commerce, and AI-powered tools, the responsibility for privacy protection is increasingly shared between regulation, system design, and user awareness.
This challenge is particularly pronounced in the electronics and recommerce ecosystem, where used devices can carry years of personal, financial, and biometric data.
Raghavendra Singh, CTO, Cashify, noted that while regulatory frameworks such as India’s DPDP Act are an important step in establishing accountability, real-world data privacy depends on how systems and processes are designed.
In the context of device reuse, privacy cannot be left to users alone and must be treated as a default system-level responsibility.
At Cashify, data safety is embedded into operations through factory-grade data erasure using specialised tools and processes for every device.
As recommerce adoption scales, the company continues to strengthen this infrastructure with next-generation systems to make data protection more robust and scalable.
