DPDPA looks different at a tea auction than on an oil & gas contractor roster.
DRMLAW LLP has no Assam or Northeast office — DPO-as-a-Service and gap-assessment engagements run remotely from our Kolkata offices. This page covers where DPDPA risk actually concentrates in Assam: the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre, the ONGC/OIL/NRL oil & gas contractor ecosystem, and Guwahati's emerging IT/BPO sector.
FAQ
We run a tea estate near Guwahati, not a tech company — does DPDPA even apply to us?
Yes, if you process digital personal data — for most estates that means biometric wage-disbursal and worker-record systems rather than customer data. A short gap assessment usually settles the scope quickly.
Does the DPDPA apply to oil & gas contractor and safety-compliance data?
Yes — contractor rosters, safety-training records and site-access logs tied to identifiable individuals are personal data under the Act, and the common gap is the absence of a written data-processing agreement with the vendor managing that system.
Do you have a Guwahati or Northeast office for DPO-as-a-Service engagements?
No — DRMLAW LLP's offices are in Kolkata and Bengaluru. Engagements for Assam and Northeast clients run remotely, with in-person sessions arranged as needed.
