Qualitative research was conducted with 33 respondents. These included representatives from SSMI organizations, digital news publications and cloud service providers. One FGD was conducted with independent software developers who are vocal about privacy, digital rights, data security and responsibility in technology on social media and community forums. We classified this set of respondents as “public interest technologists.”
All respondents were from metropolitan areas of India.

Respondents were drawn from small, medium and large organizations. This classification was based on the number of employees that respondents’ organization employed. This categorization was represented in the questionnaire as follows:
- Small-sized organization = less than 25 employees.
- Medium-sized organization = 25-150 employees.
- Large-sized organization = 150 employees.
The above classification deviates from the standard industry classification of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) .
