DPDP Meets Emerging Technologies Episode 3: Blockchain and DPDP Compliance Case Study 1 — Arjun's Story Arjun works as a senior analyst at a financial services firm. His employer recently migrated its employee verification system to a permissioned blockchain. His name, PAN, date of birth, address, and employment history were recorded as transactions on this chain. Two years later, Arjun resigned and asked his former employer to erase his personal data.
