Technology, data protection and fintech law barely feature in India's law school curricula in a practice-ready form. Nobody was teaching the practice until now.

To close that gap, National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi), through its Centre for Regulatory Studies (CRS), has partnered with Mentblue to launch a Certificate Course on TMT, Data Protection & Fintech: Technology Contracts, Data Protection & Digital Finance, part of The Practice Series, a joint initiative designed to take participants through the technology, data protection and fintech regulatory landscape the way it is actually practised inside leading law firms and in-house teams. The course commences 22 August 2026. Enrolments are open.

Why This Course?

• Practitioner-led faculty. Partners and senior practitioners from AZB Partners, JSA Advocates & Solicitors, AP & Partners and Trilegal: the lawyers who advise on technology mandates, data protection compliance and fintech regulation for a living.

• End-to-end regulatory view. Across technology contracts, the DPDP Act, telecom and platform regulation, emerging technology, and the full fintech landscape: the complete practice-ready picture taught in the sequence a mandate actually unfolds.

• Two applied assignments. Mid-course and final drafting and advisory assignments built around realistic Indian technology, data protection and fintech fact patterns, spanning multiple regulatory regimes at once.

• Current law. The DPDP Act, 2023, the DPDP Rules, 2025, the Telecommunications Act, 2023, the online gaming framework and emerging AI governance regulation: the course teaches the law as it stands today, not as it was.

• NLU Delhi certification. The course is supervised by the Centre for Regulatory Studies and the certificate is issued by National Law University, Delhi.

• Flexible format. Weekend-only live sessions with six-month recording access, built for law students and working professionals alike.
