Sushant Pasumarty
& DPDP Compliance
Founder of Meridian Bridge Strategy. 10+ years in identity verification, data protection, and privacy compliance across India, Philippines, and Indonesia.
What Sushant Does at Meridian
Sushant Pasumarty founded Meridian Bridge Strategy in 2025 to give Indian companies a single place to navigate DPDP compliance — from initial audit to ongoing implementation. He leads every client engagement, sets the compliance methodology, and oversees the domain network that serves as the public layer for education and readiness tools.
Before Meridian, Sushant spent over a decade building identity verification and data protection infrastructure across emerging markets. That background — spanning KYC workflows, consent architecture, cross-border data handling, and regulatory navigation — is what shapes the DPDP compliance practice at MBS today.
Technical + Legal + Operational
The DPDP Act 2023 is not just a legal document — it is an operational mandate. Compliance requires data flow mapping, consent architecture, vendor contract review, breach response procedures, and technical implementation. A legal opinion alone does not make a company compliant.
Sushant's approach at Meridian Bridge Strategy combines all three: legal review with external counsel, technical data mapping and evidence architecture, and operational implementation that works inside the client's existing workflows. This is DPDP compliance done properly — not a templated PDF dropped on a compliance officer's desk.
The DPDP Domain Network & Pramaan
Beyond client work, Sushant built and operates a network of DPDP-focused public surfaces — each designed to serve a specific job in the compliance journey. This includes Pramaan, the evidence-backed public accountability layer that documents how companies handle personal data.
