It situates the issue in global developments around “kidfluencers”, wageexploitation, and privacy rights with the help of international guidelines, while critically assessing India’s evolving digital data protection regime under the Digital Personal DataProtection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

India's startup ecosystem has grown to the scale of being a concern for insolvency policy, with more than 185,000 startups registered on the Startup India platform by DPIIT. However, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 remains to be an asset-heavy approach to the distress of startups.
