The Data Sovereignty Question Is Already Answered
500+ Indian enterprises chose FirmsData because compliance shouldn't be complicated.
When regulations say “data should stay in India”, we comply with it
Global Virtual Data Room providers often host sensitive deal data on US or European servers, posing a major compliance risk under RBI guidelines, SEBI mandates, and India’s DPDP Act 2023.
100% India-Hosted Infrastructure
All documents, metadata, access logs, and audit trails remain on servers within India. No offshore data routing through Singapore, Ireland, or the USA, your deal room is built to meet Indian regulatory expectations.
Built for Indian Regulators, Not Retrofitted
US and EU VDR platforms bolt on Indian compliance as an afterthought. FirmsData was architected from the ground up for India's regulatory environment - SEBI, RBI, IBBI, and the DPDP Act are first-class requirements, not checkbox items.
Complete Audit Trail, Indian Jurisdiction
All user activity, access events, document views, downloads, and Q&A fully logged and retained on India‑based servers. Respond to regulatory or legal requests with a complete audit trail in hours
On-Premises Deployment Available
For enterprises requiring absolute data control, FirmsData offers on-premises deployment in your own Indian data center, providing complete privacy and control over their data. The only major VDR provider that offers this level of sovereignty without sacrificing the full enterprise feature set.
Every Indian mandate. Covered natively.
Indian enterprises face a growing web of data regulations. FirmsData is the only VDR that treats them as core product requirements rather than legal disclaimers.
India-Hosted VDR Compliance: DPDP Act, RBI Data Localisation & SEBI Requirements
The most comprehensive, regulation-ready virtual data room for Indian M&A, IPO, and insolvency transactions.

What deal teams say
Trusted by M&A teams across India.
Data sovereignty was our biggest concern going into the Series B. FirmsData gave our investors and legal team complete peace of mind — and the DPDP compliance question never even came up in diligence. "
CFO, Mumbai-based Fintech
Series B · $45M raise
"Highly competitive auction, multiple bidder groups, zero leaks. FirmsData handled a ₹ 2,200 Cr transaction without a single compliance hiccup. The Indian hosting was non-negotiable for our client."
Managing Director, Investment Bank
M&A Advisory · Energy sector
"We switched from a US-based VDR after our compliance team flagged data residency risks. FirmsData setup was done in 20 minutes. The SEBI audit trail alone was worth the switch."

Frequently asked question
Indian data sovereignty.
A: Yes. FirmsData is the only major VDR provider hosted entirely on Indian servers. Your deal data, documents, and transaction records never leave Indian soil, fully aligning with the DPDP Act 2023, RBI data localization guidelines, and SEBI compliance requirements. Our data centers are located in Mumbai and have secondary failover within India.
A: India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 governs how personal data of Indian citizens is collected, stored, and processed. It includes provisions that restrict cross-border data transfers and require data fiduciaries to implement appropriate security measures. Using a US or EU-hosted VDR creates direct compliance exposure for Indian enterprises. FirmsData's native India hosting eliminates this risk.
A: Yes. FirmsData was designed with Indian regulatory requirements at its core. Our audit trails, access controls, and data residency architecture align with SEBI's disclosure requirements for M&A and IPO transactions, and with RBI's data localization framework for financial institutions. Our compliance team actively monitors regulatory updates and pushes platform updates accordingly.
A: Yes. FirmsData offers on-premises deployment for enterprises that require absolute data control in their own Indian data center. This option is available for large enterprises and government-adjacent organizations that cannot use cloud infrastructure regardless of hosting location. Contact our enterprise team for deployment specifications.
A: FirmsData uses flat-rate, unlimited-user pricing — a fundamental structural difference from providers like Datasite, which charge per page (roughly ₹50 per page, by third-party estimates). For a typical M&A data room with 10,000 pages and 50 users, legacy providers can cost ₹10–80 lakh per transaction. FirmsData's flat rate means no surprise invoices at deal close. Contact us for a custom quote based on your deal parameters.
A: Most deal teams are fully operational within 20 minutes of account activation. This includes bulk document upload, folder structure setup, user invitation and permission assignment, and Q&A module configuration. Our onboarding specialists are available 24×7 to support your first room setup over a live call if needed.
