Who is Nagaraja B S

Nagaraja B S (Nagaraja Bangalore Subbarao) is an Advocate and data privacy expert with 18+ years of experience spanning data protection advisory, information systems and regulatory compliance. His background includes Big 4 advisory (EY and EY Law), global consulting (Protiviti), technology (Infosys) and Fortune 500 engagements — experience he now applies to DPDPA compliance for Indian organisations of every size.

He is the founder of ComplyDPDPA and the Data Privacy Academy, and the author of one of India's first DPDPA practitioner's books, Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023: Law and Practice in India. He is an Adjunct Professor at NMIMS teaching Business Law, IP & Technology Law, and a doctoral (FPM) scholar in Strategic Management and Information Systems.

His work covers the full arc of a privacy programme — statute-grounded gap assessment, implementation, Fractional DPO cover, privacy governance, legal drafting, breach readiness and AI governance — built on India's own Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 rather than repurposed GDPR frameworks.
