India's Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has stated that the proposed Digital Personal Data Protection Bill (DPDPB) will result in "deep behavioural changes" for platforms operating in India.

The bill is expected to be tabled in July by Parliament.
