About the Theme
The Intersection between Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Antitrust Regulations
India’s digital economy is growing at an exponential rate, with vast amounts of personal data being generated and consumed every day. This data has become the cornerstone of modern business models, especially for tech giants operating in sectors like e-commerce, social media, fintech, and digital services. While data powers innovation, it also raises significant concerns regarding data privacy and market competition. In India, these issues intersect at a crucial juncture, where data privacy laws and antitrust regulations are evolving rapidly, but often in silos. This conference will focus on the challenges posed by the growing concentration of data in India’s digital economy, with a specific emphasis on how data privacy and antitrust laws interact in the Indian context. Through case studies, legislative developments, and expert insights, this presentation will equip legal professionals, policymakers, and businesses with the tools they need to navigate this complex landscape in India, where data privacy and antitrust issues are expected to become a central focus in the coming years.
