    Frequently requested by policy makers and think-tanks, this keynote is based on our recent research conducted in partnership with policy bodies like the ILO and the WEF.

    China has rapidly emerged as not merely an imitator but an innovator in the platform economy. This keynote lays out the strategies of the successful BAT trio of platforms (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) as well as lesser known names like Toutiao and PingAn.

This keynote is frequently requested in Western Europe where companies and regulators alike are keen to understand the factors driving the dominance of Chinese platforms.

    Built off Sangeet’s work advising antitrust investigations, this keynote explores the growing antitrust concerns around the GAFA platforms and lays out ways in which such platforms may be regulated.
