Technology Policy

When government bodies such as MeitY, TRAI, DPIIT, or the RBI issue consultation papers or draft rules, they invite public comments within a specified window. Companies can submit responses either directly or through industry associations and trade bodies. We assist companies in preparing submissions that articulate their business concerns in regulatory and policy language, and help them engage with relevant industry associations and policy forums. Participating in consultations allows you to shape regulations before they are finalised, rather than reacting to them after the fact.

Depending on your sector, relevant bodies include NASSCOM (technology and IT services), IAMAI (internet and mobile), the Bharat Web3 Association (blockchain and crypto), FICCI and CII (cross-sectoral industry engagement), the Data Security Council of India (data protection), and sector-specific associations for fintech, gaming, and e-commerce. Internationally, INTA, iTechLaw, and the Crypto Valley Association are relevant for IP, technology law, and blockchain respectively. We advise clients on which associations are most relevant to their business and help them engage effectively.

Regulatory change in India’s technology sector is frequent and often implemented with short compliance windows. The practical approach is to monitor gazette notifications, MeitY and TRAI advisories, and RBI circulars relevant to your sector, participate in industry body consultations, and build internal processes that allow you to adapt quickly. We provide ongoing regulatory advisory to technology clients, flagging relevant developments and advising on compliance timelines and implementation strategies as new rules are announced.
