India's New Labor Codes: Essential Compliance and Risk Mitigation for U.S. Multinationals

A sweeping overhaul of India’s employment law landscape is underway and along with it, immediate relevance for U.S. multinationals and their India operations. This session will cut through the noise about these recent changes while focusing what matters most for corporate legal teams, such as:

• Understanding India’s four Labor Codes now in force, bringing together 29 legacy labor statutes into a single, modernized compliance framework.
• What implementation really looks like on the ground, including: HR process redesign, documentation updates, compliance audits, and dispute-management mechanics.
• Operational and financial impacts for employers, from payroll restructuring and social security contributions to contractor oversight, workforce planning, and risk allocation.
• The transition support organizations will need, particularly multi-state employers, and companies relying heavily on contractors, staffing vendors, or gig-economy platforms.
• How to navigate the interim period while state rules remain in flux, and what uneven or staggered adoption means for legal exposure and compliance strategy.
