Mumbai : In the wake of recent regulatory shifts regarding surveillance systems, the Indian security industry has reached a critical inflection point. Mr. Pushkar Gokhale, Business Head of the Security Solutions Business at Godrej Enterprises Group, emphasized that in sensitive categories like CCTV, trust and accountability are no longer optional but must be the very foundation of the industry.
As concerns regarding data vulnerabilities and supply-chain transparency intensify, Indian brands are increasingly being viewed as trusted partners. This shift is driven by their close alignment with local regulations and a steadfast commitment to data security and product reliability. Mr. Gokhale noted that modern security solutions now extend far beyond simple monitoring, integrating deeply with India’s evolving legal framework.
A significant driver of this transformation is the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. The Act mandates that user consent must be free, informed, specific, and unambiguous. In the surveillance context, this requires organizations to maintain absolute transparency regarding data collection, storage, and usage, ensuring individuals retain control over their personal information.
Reaffirming the company's stance, Mr. Gokhale stated that Godrej remains dedicated to developing high-quality, resilient security solutions tailored for India. By upholding the highest standards of responsibility and reliability, the brand aims to ensure long-term safety and peace of mind for its customers in an increasingly digital and security-conscious landscape.
