In the 21st century, digital markets are transforming the economy, as technology has penetrated many aspects of people\u2019s lifestyles, from shopping to social interaction. Such digital platforms provide many benefits but have also gained significant control of consumer data, which confers market power. This has raised not only competition-related concerns but also concerns related to consumer protection and privacy. Especially in developing economies like India, digital markets are growing exponentially and this brings with its complexities in the enforcement of antitrust law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
