IAMAI forms task force to tackle Big Tech dominance

Tech industry body Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has constituted a task force to address what they allege is the abuse of market dominance by Big Tech firms.

“The task force will be looking at the Google Play Billing System (GPBS) and IP-related matters to begin with, and then will look at the broader concerns surrounding Big Tech and their abuse of dominance in India,” said Murugavel Janakiraman, the Bharat Matrimony founder who is also the chairperson of the task force.

This initiative is separate from a 40-member task force they had created in September last year that was also formed to look at some of Google’s policies, he said.

“We will also begin work on a white paper that will analyse the impact that Big Tech’s policies are having on the Indian startup ecosystem,” Janakiraman said. “The task force will be in touch with government officials and policymakers and work towards bettering policy that will benefit the startup ecosystem.”
