ABSTRACT 

This paper explores the intersection of law, technology, and constitutional interpretation through an analysis of landmark judgments delivered by the Supreme Court of India. As technological advancements such as biometric data collection, internet governance, surveillance mechanisms, and artificial intelligence reshape societal structures, the judiciary faces the challenge of balancing innovation with constitutional principles. Through cases like Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (privacy and Aadhaar), Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (freedom of speech online), and Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (internet shutdowns), the Court has demonstrated a dynamic approach to interpreting constitutional rights in light of evolving technological realities. Key themes include the application of proportionality, the safeguarding of fundamental rights in digital spaces, and addressing legislative gaps in regulating emerging technologies. This abstract highlights the judiciary’s critical role in ensuring that technological progress aligns with the core tenets of the Indian Constitution, offering insights into the challenges and implications of this evolving legal landscape.

Inflation as a longstanding macro economic issue has transformed the dynamics of operating and pricing in the Fast- Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry in India. Dealing with the increased input costs and the changes in consumer behaviour, effective pricing strategy has taken center-stage to make real time adjustments in the overall business operations. This blog examines how pricing strategy research and different pricing research techniques are applied in handling inflationary pressures. Ranging between regional pricing, shrinkflation, and value engineering, the companies are integrating different techniques of pricing the FMCG products in a bid to stay competitive. This blog emphasizes the changing nature of FMCG pricing strategy where the businesses have to face cost pressures, as well as retain volume and brand loyalty. Finally, the blog offers an in-depth analysis on inflation adaptation of FMCG strategy providing an insight into how to combat inflation by strategically innovating price, chain, and streaming with consumers.

ABSTRACT

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry has been revolutionized over the last decade with conventional titans and new direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands reshaping how products are made, sold, and distributed. Spurred by digitalization, access to data, and shifting values, this convergence is not only fueling new business models but also escalating legal risks – especially concerning intellectual property, data protection, and consumer rights. While agility and compliance are the new mandates, the future of FMCG and D2C brands will be in the hands of those who are able to couple quick innovation with strong legal bearings.

ABSTRACT

Every action you take on the internet, from liking a post to looking for pizza late at night, leaves undetectable traces. Your digital footprint is made up of these traces, and it is expanding with each click. The twist is that your digital footprint is more than simply a technical word; it’s a combination of your online persona, reputation, and security. The Internet—which includes, among others, Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Amazon, and Microsoft—knows almost everything about you.
