Consent managers: an Indian solution for managing consent

India’s data protection landscape is undergoing a transformation with the introduction of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, which envisions the establishment of the role of consent managers to streamline the process of managing, reviewing and withdrawing consent for data processing. While the framework draws parallels with the ‘account aggregator’ model in the financial sector, it presents unique challenges in terms of interoperability, security and regulatory compliance. The full impact of the framework on consent managers will depend on its effective implementation and the finalisation of supporting rules.
