With over 460 million internet users, projected to grow to 636 million by 2021, India is the second largest online market in the world; internet penetration has grown from 10% in 2011 to 26% in 2018. With the substantial rise in storage, aggregation and processing of data and amidst mounting concerns over the privacy of citizens, the country is moving towards digital governance in a big way. The challenge is to balance the protection of citizens' rights with responsibilities of the states without hampering trade and industry.

  • Can data be claimed as one’s property?
  • Can Aadhaar infringe on individual privacy?
