In April 2023, IAMAI argued against the need for a separate digital competition framework aimed at regulating "anti-competitive practices" by Big Tech companies.

Indian entrepreneurs slammed IAMAI, saying a digital competition law was necessary and insinuated that the industry body's stance was a reflection of the composition of its leadership.
