Leveling the Playing Field: Startups Urge Government to Rein in Dominant Tech Players

After the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) verdict, which upheld several significant elements of the Competition Commission of India (CCI)'s antitrust order against Google's Play Store policies, start-up founders are asking the government to enforce stringent regulations against "dominant digital gatekeepers." The NCLAT verdict, as much as it cut down Google's fine, reaffirmed the necessity of a law like the Digital Competition Bill to avoid anti-competitive practices and promote a level playing field in the digital environment. Founders stress the significance of ex-ante frameworks in avoiding market distortions beforehand.
