Indian startups are being quoted ₹15 lakh–₹2 crore to comply with the DPDP Rules, 2025. Answer three questions and get back: the rules that actually touch you grouped by commencement date, live countdowns to the two deadlines, a 72-hour breach playbook, a draft consent notice, and a GDPR-to-DPDP delta table. Every claim cites its rule number and links the official Gazette text. No signup, no email capture, no tracking, no backend 0 one static HTML file that works offline.

I spent the last few years on cookie consent and GDPR compliance monitoring - measuring whether companies' consent implementations actually did what their privacy policies claimed they did. Then India notified its DPDP Rules, and I started hearing the same thing from founders back home: a vendor had quoted them ₹15 lakh to ₹2 crore (roughly $18k–$240k), and they had no idea whether they needed any of it. So I built the thing I wanted to hand them. Three questions - your sector, your Indian user count, the data types you handle - and you get back which rules actually apply to you, when each comes into force, a 72-hour breach playbook, and a draft consent notice. Two decisions shaped the whole build: Every legal claim cites its rule number and links the official government Gazette text. Where I couldn't verify a rule number against the source PDF, I cite the topic without one rather than guess. One threshold read ambiguously in the PDF's text layer, so I cross-checked it against two independent sources before wiring it in. And it tells you when a rule *doesn't* apply to you. There are already four DPDP checkers online - three ask for your phone number before showing your result, because they're run by the firms selling the remediation. None of them can afford to tell you you're fine. It's one static HTML file. No backend, no signup, no tracking, no analytics. Works offline. Free, and staying free. The big deadline is 13 May 2027, with a live countdown on the page. Corrections very welcome, especially from anyone who's read the Rules closely.
