We were quoted in The Economic Times arguing that a seismic shift toward #datalocalisation is unrealistic, with technological and operational issues likely to slow down implementation: “There are many issues to consider when you localise data,” says Anirudh Rastogi, CEO of Ikigai Law, a legal outfit in Delhi that works on tech and policy law. “Where do you find enough space to build these server farms to house this mass of data? Does housing all the data in one country mitigate risk?” #data economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/homegrown-internet-companies-face-stiff-competition-fr...

Indian entrepreneurs find it more and more difficult to keep up with deep-pocketed foreign competitors.The Competition Commission of India (CCI) announced its market study (lnkd.in/fqxy-KG) on the e-commerce sector. The study targets a better understanding of the competitive dynamics of the e-commerce sector, and will focus on areas including emerging trends in business models, distribution mechanisms and business practices prevalent in the industry. The competition watchdog will consult e-commerce firms, manufacturers, wholesalers/retailers, restaurants and payments systems for the study.
While the CCI clarified that the market study was not part of any investigation or inquiry, reports (lnkd.in/fkEjMYW) have suggested that Amazon and Flipkart are unlikely to participate in the survey over worries of disclosing their ‘trade secrets’. The issues checking them from participating may not be limited to revealing ‘trade secrets’. Details sought by the CCI include working of inventory models and pricing of products. Disclosure of such information can possibly have larger implications on issues such as intermediary status, and dominant position of these players.

The Bangalore-based firm founded in 2016 will use the funds to enhance their technology, scale operations, and accelerate growth.Anirudh Rastogi was speaking at the 5th #ORF Space Policy Dialogue on 1st May on the legal framework for and challenges in space propulsion activity. He contends that specific legislation for manufacture and use of #propulsion material is necessary to advance the industry, currently governed by the Explosives Act. Promulgated in 1884, this Act was crafted largely to regulate mining activity and arguably is out-dated for that as well. Divyanshu Poddar #techpolicy #newspace #techlaw
