The tech industry is in turmoil following two recent directives from the Indian government. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) issued orders last week mandating SIM binding for messaging apps and the pre-installation of the “Sanchar Saathi” app on all smartphones.

Non-compliance will attract penalties. Companies must implement the order within 90 days and submit a compliance report...
