Leading Client Audits and Data Protection @ Yubi Group \| Breaking Down Law & Policy in “Legal News Update” Newsletter

## About

I help fast\-growing startups and fintechs stay on the right side of data protection and regulation while they scale\. At Yubi, I lead client audits and data protection, making sure global enterprise and financial clients can trust that we’re secure, compliant, and audit‑ready across India and key markets\. Over the last 10 years, I’ve worked across India, UK, US, Singapore and UAE, turning messy, evolving laws into clear, founder\-friendly decisions\. Today, I wear three hats: \- Legal–DPDP–startup specialist: Leading DPDP implementation and privacy governance at Yubi, with a focus on audit resilience, vendor risk and client assurance \- Creator: Writing “Legal News Update by Lomash”, a weekly newsletter \(965\+ subscribers\) where I break down complex legal and policy changes into plain, actionable language for operators, founders and lawyers \- Ecosystem ally: Supporting founders as Venture Partner at Soonicorn Ventures, especially on early\-stage compliance strategy, data protection, and risk I’m particularly interested in: \- DPDP, data protection and global privacy \(DCDPO certified\) \- Client audits, vendor infosec and building audit\-resilient organisations \- How law, fintech and product intersect in India’s startup ecosystem If you’re a founder, operator or investor thinking about audits, DPDP or regulatory strategy, I’m always happy to jam on real problems\. Feel free to reach out for a quick conversation or subscribe to the newsletter\.
