KCO and SRL have an actual established data protection practice.
In my estimation, teams that have relatively good work culture are:
(i) Trilegal, Bangalore;
(ii) KCO, Delhi (Harsh Walia's & Abhinav Chandan's team); and
(iii) Spice Route Legal (Aadya Misra's team).
Teams with bad culture:
(i) Ikigai Law, Delhi (Policy & Product teams).
Fintech- Agree with Jaideep @Tri
SAM Policy & Data Team: interned with them for a couple of months. They do everything around TMT with a special focus on everything Data, Intermediary Liability, Gaming & emerging tech. Also policy around NFTs and crypto. Goes without mentioning that in each of these areas they represent the biggest of clients.
Also probably one of the nicest teams you'll find in law firms as far as the culture is concerned
