The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has recently settled its first case with Google in the Android TV operating system market\, bringing this case to an end much faster than many other cases before the CCI. However\, critics point towards limitations and ambiguities in the legal framework that may impede the bringing of settlements and commitments. In this inter-disciplinary discussion with experts\, we will explore different aspects of the settlement and commitment regime from a theoretical and practical lens and gain insights as to the role this framework is likely to play in India. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Participants: \nDr. Shilpi Bhattacharya – Professor\, Jindal Global Law School \nHemangini Dadwal – Senior Partner\, AZB & Partners \nAbir Roy – Co-Founder and Advocate\, Sarvada Legal \nDr. Manisha Goel – Senior Economist\, Econ One Research URL:https://competitioninnovationlab.ai/event/india-competition-law-2-0-commitments-and-settlements/ LOCATION:University Student Center\, 800 21st Street\, NW\, Room 405\, NW\, 20052\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://competitioninnovationlab.ai/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/adobestock_1562551216-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250728T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250728T104500 DTSTAMP:20260415T054602 CREATED:20260106T064135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T062438Z UID:3235-1753696800-1753699500@competitioninnovationlab.ai SUMMARY:Antitrust in Labour Markets: Key Risks and Enforcement Trends DESCRIPTION:The webinar provides an insightful discussion on antitrust issues in labour markets\, featuring experts from the Turkish Competition Authority\, academia\, and legal practice in Türkiye and internationally.
