The Indian government is holding meetings with industry representatives and associations to discuss concerns over the draft of the digital competition bill. The bill aims to regulate unfair competition and the influence of big tech companies in the digital space. The government has invited representatives from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Competition Commission of India to address industry concerns. The draft bill has received opposition from digital rights groups, including the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), who argue that it unfairly burdens digital companies and hinders investments in tech startups.
