India: Competition laws in focus amid Google, Paytm tussle

The tussle between tech giant Google and payments unicorn Paytm has put the focus back on India’s competition laws pertaining to digital markets. “For long, Google and Apple have been exercising too much control over app developers. This episode shows that it can happen anytime and with any apps. This time they played by the rules, but they can always make these decisions to suit their business interests,” said Gurshabad Grover, senior policy officer at Centre for Internet and Society (CIS).
