Indian Economy’s Resurgence from the Global Pandemic: How well is the Country Adapting to the ‘New Normal’?

Small and medium businesses (SMEs) comprise one-third of India's GDP and employ millions of people, but they were severely harmed by the statewide COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in the years 2020 and 2021 respectively, which lasted for months before being gradually eased. While nearly half of entrepreneurs in such businesses claimed their business was threatened by delays in consumer payments and issues meeting operating costs, less than a third had appealed for government assistance. At the same time, many entrepreneurs identified digitisation, consumer behaviour shift, new business prospects, and efficiency and resilience gains as positives to their businesses.

Internal structure of Indian companies has seen a rapid growth over the time with increase in specialization and complexity where specific directors take charge of specified activities of the company.

In this article we will discuss the legal framework and judicial interpretation of the standards to impose criminal liability on directors. Companies have evolved and so have our statutory provisions and our understanding of the corporate actions in case of criminal offences and who shall be deemed liable for the same.

SINGLE BRAND RETAIL TRADING IN INDIA

Selling of goods under a single brand name domestically as well as internationally is known as ‘Single Brand Retail’. However, Indian FDI regulations do not provide any guidance on the meaning of ‘Single Brand’. Single-brand retail trading refers to a business/franchisee/entity that sells goods to individual customers and not to other businesses and all such goods are sold under the same brand. Adidas, for example, sets up stores in India in which the foreign parent company of Adidas (Adidas Group.) invests. Such stores can only sell Adidas products under the 'single brand' route.
