When an OTT Platform launches a “Kids Tab” or “Kids Profile”, the marketing narrative is straightforward: a safer, curated content experience for young viewers.
Divyam Mishra is a Registered Advocate and Data Privacy professional working at the intersection of technology law, child safety, and global regulatory compliance. Her work examines how legal frameworks respond to the rapid expansion of digital platforms into spaces inhabited by children. Her experience spans both litigation and corporate privacy practice. Having appeared across District Courts, the Delhi High Court, and the Supreme Court of India, Divyam brings a procedural rigour to regulatory work that is often absent in purely advisory practice. At Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, one of India's largest media conglomerates, she worked at the operational front line of Data Privacy and Risk Compliance— managing Data Subject Access Requests, conducting Privacy Impact Assessments, and leading compliance reviews for campaigns involving minors' personal data across global OTT jurisdictions. This hands-on exposure to real-world implementation shapes her view that privacy must be architectural, not incidental. Her focus areas include children's data protection, cross-jurisdictional regulatory mapping, and the operationalisation of frameworks such as COPPA, GDPR, and India's DPDP Act 2023. She is particularly interested in how divergent but overlapping jurisdictional standards for consent, age verification, and behavioural profiling affect global platforms building products for young audiences. Through her writing and practice, Divyam seeks to advance a privacy-first approach to product development — where child safety is not a feature shipped at the end, but a foundational commitment embedded into every layer of technology and policy.
