Hitachi Vantara has outlined its plans for the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2025 underway in Kochi this week, placing data governance and digital readiness at the centre of its engagement with enterprise leaders. The company is showcasing its storage and Cloud-focused infrastructure portfolio while also leading discussions around compliance with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.

Titled From Risk to Readiness for DPDP Act Compliance, the 30-minute discussion aims to offer CIOs and business teams a practical view of moving from risk exposure to operational readiness. The focus stays on building secure and transparent data architectures that can support long-term compliance needs.
