The rapid expansion of big tech firms and artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping India’s competition landscape, prompting closer regulatory scrutiny, Ravneet Kaur, chairperson of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), said on Wednesday. Speaking on Day 2 of the BS Manthan summit, Kaur said digital markets and large technology platforms have emerged as a key focus area for the regulator in recent years. She said these firms pose risks around "potential anti-competitive practices" such as self-preferencing, tying and bundling, anti-competitive agreements, and enforcing unfair terms on users.
