Kumar’s analysis pointed towards a nuanced approach to labor reforms in India, emphasizing the need for businesses and legal professionals to navigate the shifting realities of employment. The focus is on understanding how the new codes, including the Industrial Relations Code, are influencing hiring, workforce management, and the overall employer-employee dynamic.
