● Date: Friday, 31 July 2026
● Time: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

We’ll discuss whether these proposals address the right problem, how age verification systems could work in practice, what implementation and enforcement could look like in India, and whether platform design regulation offers a more effective alternative to blanket bans. We’ll also examine global regulatory developments and what they could mean for India’s approach.
There are limited seats available, and applications will soon move to a waitlist.
