Summary

Governments worldwide are enhancing privacy protections in response to the increasing digital interactions and data collection, with the EU's GDPR in 2018 setting a precedent followed by other nations like India, which mandates local data storage by foreign companies. PubNub, a company with expertise in security and privacy, has expanded its services in India by allowing local data storage through its Mumbai Point-of-Presence, ensuring compliance with these regulations. This development is particularly significant for India's healthcare and financial sectors, where data security is crucial. In healthcare, PubNub facilitates secure doctor-patient and doctor-doctor communications, real-time location tracking, and alerts, while in financial services, it supports real-time transactions, client-professional interactions, and up-to-date financial data monitoring. This infrastructure enables technology companies in India, including fast-growing ones like Swiggy, to provide seamless, secure, and engaging real-time experiences, supported by PubNub's reliable and scalable communication platform, which boasts low latency and high availability.
