January 28th is Data Privacy Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of data privacy in an increasingly digital world.
Below is what Manoj Paul, MD, Equinix India has to say on Data Privacy Day 2026 which aims to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.
“As India enters a more mature phase of its digital economy, responsible data governance is being sharpened through the implementation of the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules (DPDP). The Rules place accountability, transparency and user consent at the center of data driven growth, at a time when digital services are becoming deeply embedded across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and public infrastructure.
In this evolving landscape, Equinix plays a central role by providing secure, neutral and globally interconnected digital infrastructure that helps organizations manage data responsibly while maintaining compliance and performance. By enabling scalable architectures and trusted interconnection ecosystems, Equinix supports enterprises as they navigate the operational and governance requirements of the DPDP framework.
On Data Privacy Day, Equinix reaffirms its commitment to supporting our customers in upholding the highest standards of data protection and digital trust. We remain dedicated to empowering businesses with secure, resilient and compliant infrastructure with accessibility to digital ecosystems in India and worldwide. By working alongside customers, partners and policymakers, Equinix continues to support a future where innovation thrives on a foundation of trust, security and responsible data stewardship.”– Manoj Paul, MD, Equinix India.
