This is a link enhanced version of the podcast that first appeared on In Conversation with IPR & Competition Law.
Podcast Overview:
In this episode of In Conversation with IPR & Competition Law, the discussion explores the rapidly emerging area of antitrust enforcement in labour markets. As regulators globally increase scrutiny of wage-fixing, no-poach arrangements, information exchange and hiring practices, businesses are encountering competition law risks that extend beyond traditional product and service markets. The conversation examines the implications of these developments for employers, recruitment agencies and India’s rapidly growing Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem, while also addressing global enforcement trends, compliance measures and how businesses can prepare for the evolving landscape of labour-market competition regulation.
Our Partner, Aparna Mehra, shares her insights on the growing intersection of competition law and labour markets, including the risks arising from wage-fixing, no-poach arrangements, information exchange and hiring practices. She discusses the implications for employers, recruitment agencies and GCCs in India, while also providing perspectives on global enforcement trends, practical compliance measures and how businesses can prepare for increased regulatory scrutiny of labour-market practices.
