The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is focusing on the big data sector to prevent anti-competitive activity. “We will conduct surveys of big data firms and new-age economy companies,” said Ashok KumarGupta, chairman, CCI.

Gupta added that the CCI was trying to understand how anti-competition activities were conducted in this sector. The new-age economy includes all e-sales platforms.

Any sector where one or a few companies can try to misuse their dominant position is under the CCI scanner. This includes automobiles, health, pharmaceuticals, and cab aggregators.
