India probes Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF over alleged labor market collusion to restrict hiring.
India’s Competition Commission is investigating Givaudan, Firmenich, and IFF over allegations of anti-poaching agreements that restricted hiring across rivals, potentially limiting worker mobility and wages.
The probe, based on at least 30 emails from 2002, suggests a coordinated effort to avoid recruiting each other’s employees without approval.
This marks India’s first major antitrust case focused on labor market collusion, with potential penalties up to 10% of global turnover.
The companies are cooperating, though IFF challenged the timeline in court, which allowed the investigation to proceed.
Regulators in the EU and UK are also examining similar practices.
