KPMG in India and OneTrust form an alliance to accelerate AI-ready governance for enterprises

Mumbai, 27 October 2025 – KPMG in India, one of India’s leading professional services firms, today announced a strategic alliance with OT Technology, Inc. (OneTrust). The alliance brings together KPMG in India’s advisory and implementation expertise with OneTrust’s innovative AI-ready governance platform, with the aim of helping organisations accelerate innovation while promoting responsible data use. The alliance is expected to focus on coordinated co-selling and co-delivery models intended to support privacy, consent, AI governance, and risk management in pursuit of responsible data use.

As organisations face rising stakeholder expectations and rapidly evolving regulatory requirements, such as India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), and other global frameworks, the combined capabilities of KPMG in India and the OneTrust platform are well positioned to support clients in enhancing their enterprise-based trust and governance programs.

“Our alliance with OneTrust has been built on a long-standing journey to deliver innovative, responsible data and AI that could help empower our clients to build trust and stay ahead in today’s evolving regulatory landscape” said Shreyashi Sengupta, Partner, Digital Trust & Technology Risk Automation, KPMG in India. “As organisations continue to adapt to complex compliance demands and shifting stakeholder expectations, this collaboration is intended to offer a meaningful blend of advisory and technology capabilities. It may help clients embed governance into their digital strategies, explore ethical AI practices, and strengthen trust across their data ecosystems. While outcomes may vary by organisation, our goal is to provide the tools and insights that can support more informed, responsible, and resilient digital transformation”, added Sengupta.

“KPMG in India’s expertise in enterprise transformation and regulatory compliance, combined with OneTrust’s AI-ready governance platform, provides organisations with the tools they need to meet DPDPA obligations. Together, we will help enable enterprises to accelerate innovation while ensuring responsible use of data under India’s new privacy framework.” said Ana Vertedor, Head of Partner Sales, International, OneTrust.

Clients of KPMG in India would gain access to OneTrust’s platform, including Consent & Preferences, AI Governance, Privacy Automation, Data Use Governance, Third-Party Risk, and Tech Risk & Compliance offerings.

Together, both firms intend to offer tailored assessments, implementation support, and ongoing advisory designed to help organisations strengthen and future-proof their governance strategies.
