IMPORTANCE OF COURSE
Bettering Results (BR) is conducting an online certificate course on the "Competition Law and Policy" from September 11- September 18, 2021.
Through this Certificate Course, we seek to provide the participants with an in-depth knowledge of the growing relevance of competition law all around the globe. Competition Law is a rapidly growing area of law and is increasingly being adopted to promote innovation, economic and consumer welfare. With the rise in mergers & acquisitions, global trade, foreign direct investment and recently the data, the Competition Commission of India has emerged as a strict regulator.
