Dr Anush Ganesh

Profile

I am a Lecturer in Law at the University of Leeds School of Law. I joined Leeds in April 2026 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship with the SCiDA (Shaping Competition in the Digital Age) project at the University of Exeter. I hold a PhD from the University of East Anglia, where my thesis examined pricing practices in digital markets under Article 102 TFEU. My research sits at the intersection of competition law and digital markets regulation, with a focus on EU, UK, and German law. I also hold comparative research interests in Indian competition law, social policy and digital regulation.

I have published on price personalisation under Article 102(c) TFEU, predatory pricing in platform markets, data collection practices by dominant digital platforms, the CMA's first interventions under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, and effective remedies in digital markets. My work has appeared in a wide range of journals including the European Competition Journal, Concurrences, the European Competition Law Review, Competition and Regulation in Network Industries (CoRe), the Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies (YARS), the Indian Law Review, the Statute Law Review, and the Gaming Law Review. My current research examines collective proceedings as a mechanism for private enforcement of competition law in digital markets and the interplay between collective redress and new regulatory instruments. I am a recipient of the Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards (Readers' Choice Award 2026, Unilateral Conduct category).

As part of the SCiDA project, I contributed to research on regulatory frameworks for digital competition across the EU, UK, and Germany, co-authored policy consultation responses, co-hosted the SCiDA podcast, and helped organise the project's international conference programme. I remain affiliated with the SCiDA project and continues to collaborate with its research team. Prior to joining the SCiDA project, I served as Course Lead for the LLM in International Business Law and Lecturer in Law at St Mary's University, Twickenham, where I taught Competition Law, EU Law, International Trade Law, and Insurance Law.

Research interests

My research examines competition law and its application to digital markets across the EU, UK, and Germany. My work addresses pricing practices by dominant digital platforms, including price personalisation, predatory pricing, and excessive pricing, alongside the regulation of data collection under abuse of dominance frameworks. A strand of my current research concerns collective proceedings as a mechanism for private enforcement of competition law in digital markets, exploring the interplay between collective redress and new regulatory instruments such as the UK Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and the EU Digital Markets Act.

I am also engaged in comparative work on the DMA, DMCCA, and Section 19a GWB, and on consumer welfare objectives in digital regulation. I contribute to the SCiDA project's research programme, co-host the SCiDA podcast (available at https://open.spotify.com/show/23yAwkLXZp5VEkrlRauwFe), and write regularly on new developments in UK competition and digital markets regulation.

I also hold a longstanding research interest in Indian law and social policy, with published work on the Indian Draft Digital Competition Bill, the convergence of competition law and constitutional rights in the WhatsApp (India) and Facebook (Germany) cases, street vendor regulation, gaming law reform, senior citizens' property rights, and gender discrimination in the armed forces.

I am open to supervising PhD students at Leeds.
