ABSTRACT
The digital economy has rapidly transformed India’s economic landscape, creating unprecedented opportunities for growth, innovation, and consumer empowerment. Yet, this transformation has equally raised complex challenges for regulatory frameworks in corporate and competition law. Traditional doctrines of corporate governance, market dominance, and fair competition often fail to capture the peculiarities of digital platforms, network effects, and data-driven markets. This paper explores the legal challenges posed by the digital economy in India, focusing on the interface between corporate regulation, competition law, and emerging digital business models. Drawing upon statutory developments, case law, and global best practices, the paper argues for a reorientation of Indian corporate and competition law to better regulate digital markets, address anti-competitive conduct, and safeguard consumer interests while fostering innovation.
