    This policy report, jointly prepared by the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore and Center for Digital Society, Universitas Gadjah Mada for the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Rule of Law Programme Asia, Singapore, comprehensively covers how India and Indonesia have sought to regulate data. The booming digital economies of the two countries have created demands to develop legislative frameworks to regulate data – how data is collected, processed, stored and shared.
      
    The report looks at the fragmented landcape for data regulation in these two countries which could soon give way to a comprehensive new law on personal data protection, as well as the challenges concerning the implementation and enforcement of these data laws once enacted.
