The compliance layer for India's sovereign-data era.

Every Indian company that touches personal data must prove DPDP & CERT-In compliance by May 2027. Praman turns that obligation into a live, tamper-evident, regulator-ready product — sovereign by construction.

Why now

A time-boxed, regulation-forced market

1

The law just turned on

DPDP Rules were notified Nov 2025 with full compliance due 13 May 2027. CERT-In directions already bind every ICT operator. Compliance shifted from optional to board-level and time-boxed.

2

AI broke the old tools

Personal data now leaks into foreign LLM prompts — a cross-border transfer the consent-banner generation of tools cannot even see. The risk surface moved to infrastructure and AI pipelines.

3

Sovereignty is a hard requirement

India's data-centre capex is surging and tenants demand in-region proof. A compliance tool hosted on foreign cloud is itself non-compliant — structurally excluding most incumbents.

Every Data Fiduciary in India must be compliant by 13 May 2027. That deadline is our demand curve.

Why this is hard to copy

Infra & AI layer, not consent banners

Jurisdiction/egress monitoring, in-pipeline PII detection and retention enforcement on real systems — the gap incumbents skipped.

Sovereign by construction

No component needs a foreign-hosted service. One docker compose up runs the whole platform in-region — a requirement competitors can't retrofit.

Tamper-evident evidence

Hash-chained, append-only audit log the database itself refuses to alter. Auditor- and cyber-insurer-grade proof, not screenshots.

Law-as-data

Obligations are versioned data, not code. New rules (RBI/SEBI overlays) ship without a release — defensible against a moving regulatory target.

Business model

Land free, expand through operators

B2B SaaS with a self-host land motion and operator-led expansion. Free Community installs seed adoption; managed Growth and multi-tenant Enterprise convert to recurring revenue.
