About the Project
“This ICSSR-funded longitudinal study examines whether aggressive pricing practices of fast-growing e commerce platforms might affect the livelihoods of India’s street vendors across major cities. The project combines field surveys, interviews, and legal-regulatory analysis to generate evidence on sales loss, socio economic impact, and policy gaps.
Selected candidates will work and research on competition law & Policy, cyber law, Platform governance and platform economy, urban hawker communities, retailers, consumers, and officials to collect high-quality data. The study aims to propose reforms for fair digital markets and strengthen protections for informal traders.”
