ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT I extend my sincere gratitude to The Competition Commission of India, for giving me an opportunity to intern at the commission. In specific, I thank Mr. Rakesh Kumar, Joint Director (Eco) for being a guiding force throughout this submission and being instrumental in the successful completion of this project. Without him every effort of mine would have been in vain. He has been kind and patient throughout, to share with me his precious time, thoughts and insights
