The Foundation of Data Protection Professionals in India (FDPPI) proposes to establish FDPPI Study Centres across different cities in India as part of its capacity-building and community-development initiatives in the field of data protection, privacy, and digital governance.
These Study Centres will be managed and coordinated by Associate Faculty of FDPPI and will function as local knowledge hubs to promote continuous professional learning and engagement.
Objectives of FDPPI Study Centres
-
-
To create a structured platform for regular interaction among data protection professionals, auditors, compliance officers, legal experts, and technology practitioners.
-
To conduct periodic training programs, workshops, and certification-oriented sessions aligned with FDPPI’s professional development framework.
-
To facilitate knowledge discussions, case-study reviews, regulatory updates, and best-practice sharing on emerging developments such as DPDPA implementation, DGPSI frameworks, and global privacy trends.
-
To encourage local networking and professional community building, thereby strengthening FDPPI’s national outreach and grassroots presence.
-
To support talent development and mentoring for aspiring DPOs, Data Auditors, and governance professionals.
-
Each Study Centre will meet at regular intervals (monthly / bi-monthly as decided locally) and may organize public awareness programs, industry roundtables, and collaborative initiatives with academic institutions and industry bodies.
Through this initiative, FDPPI aims to build a vibrant nationwide ecosystem of data protection excellence, enabling continuous learning, professional growth, and practical implementation support.
Each Study Center will require at least one Empanelled Associate Faculty Member as the “Coordinator”. This will be an independent individual initiative working in association with the Chapters.
Associate Faculty Members will be empanelled to independently conduct certification training programs preparing individuals to take the online examinations of FDPPI.
Persons interested in managing such centres are requested to contact FDPPI/Naavi
