About DPDP Impact · Founder

Pratheesh Nair

Privacy Lawyer · DPDP Implementation Consultant · Business Transformation Architect

  • Practising Advocate
  • 25+ years enterprise experience
  • Led GDPR implementation at Barclays

Law and operations, in one adviser.

Pratheesh Nair sits at a rare intersection: a practising Advocate with 25+ years of enterprise experience in data operations, governance and large-scale transformation, including as Vice President – Data Operations at Barclays, where he led GDPR implementation and enterprise data governance across highly regulated, data-intensive environments.

That dual grounding in law and operations shapes how he works with clients today — as both legal advisor and the architect behind how an organisation's privacy function will actually run.

His track record includes spearheading Basel IV implementation across Risk, Treasury & Finance Data Operations, and leading enterprise Lean transformation and Robotic Process Automation in Global Finance.

Independent by design

Pratheesh acts as an independent bridge between an organisation and the technology partners it eventually engages — analysing the organisation's data landscape on its own terms, building a roadmap free of any vendor's commercial interest, and negotiating on the client's behalf once a technology partner is chosen.

Backed by a delivery team

Pratheesh is supported by technology partners and a team of AI engineers who enable accelerated discovery and delivery of the roadmap.
