ComplyDP Legal Internship 2026: DPDP & Data Privacy
The ComplyDP Legal Internship offers law students an opportunity to gain practical experience in the growing field of data protection and privacy law. ComplyDP is hiring a Legal Intern in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, for a three-month, full-time, on-site role. The internship combines legal research with legal content creation and offers a stipend of ₹3,000–₹8,000.
About the ComplyDP Legal Internship
ComplyDP develops compliance infrastructure for India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act. The platform converts the DPDP Act into formal logic so that companies can assess their data practices and maintain auditable compliance records.
The company operates through Nihonium Labs Private Limited and has backing from NVIDIA Inception, Google Cloud for Startups, T-Hub and DST. With the DPDP Rules now notified and enforcement approaching, the company is building a team that understands the law and can explain it clearly.
As a Legal Intern, you will work closely with the team and gain exposure to live client engagements. The role therefore provides an opportunity to understand both the legal framework and its practical application within businesses.
Work on DPDP and Legal Content
The internship combines data privacy legal research with public-facing legal content. On the legal side, interns will work through the DPDP Act 2023 and DPDP Rules in detail. The role also involves researching how specific data protection obligations apply to sectors such as e-commerce, healthcare, SaaS and manufacturing.
In addition, interns will track regulatory developments, Data Protection Board developments and comparable developments under the GDPR and other privacy regimes. They will also support client-facing compliance documentation, notices, consent language and internal legal research memoranda.
The content side adds another practical dimension. Interns will script and appear in short-form videos that explain DPDP concepts for platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. They will also convert complex legal provisions into clear explanations that founders and marketing professionals can understand.
The role may also involve working with the team on shooting and editing content. As a result, interns can build a public portfolio of legal explainers while developing their ability to communicate technical legal concepts.
Eligibility, Stipend and Duration
The ComplyDP Legal Internship is open to law students from the third year onwards in either a 3-year or 5-year law programme. Recent law graduates can also apply.
Applicants should have a genuine interest in technology, data protection and privacy law. Prior knowledge of the DPDP Act is not required. However, candidates should show a willingness to learn the subject in depth.
The role also requires clear written and spoken English and Hindi. Since appearing on camera forms a real part of the internship, candidates should feel comfortable on camera or be willing to develop that skill quickly.
ComplyDP is looking for self-directed candidates who can take ownership of their work. The small-team environment means interns will receive responsibility rather than constant supervision.
The key internship details are:
- Position: Legal Intern (DPDP + Content)
- Location: Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh
- Mode: On-site
- Work type: Full-time
- Eligibility: 3rd-year onwards law students and recent graduates
