About the founder

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. The foundation stone of IPEM was laid under the leadership of Late Dr B.S. Goel, who was determined to impart an education that adds value to an individual. Considering that the students are the clearest representatives of the future, he tried to formulate new teaching methods and pedagogies that can prepare them for a complex and competitive future. He once said “What I hope students will acquire at IPEM is the ability to think out of the box to come up with modern solutions for modern problems. He wanted to prepare students to face global challenges with their overarching competency.”

Moot Proposition

Union of Idina is a socialist, sovereign, secular, democratic and republic country with a legal regime and a governmental structure similar to that of India. Union of Idina has witnessed exponential growth in its technological sector and emerged as a pioneer in digitizing their entire ecosystem. The users of social media platforms, digital media platforms and OTT platforms are ever increasing in this digital environment. Its commendable adaptation of technology has grabbed the attention of the world’s largest technology businesses.
Handbook, one such multinational technology conglomerate has entered the Union of Idina market and has become the most popular social media platform among the inhabitants of Idina. Handbook allows the user to create and share the photos, stories, and videos with the friends and followers and is heavily relied on by the population of Union of Idina for their social media needs. However, to use Handbook one must provide their name, date of birth, phone number and email id.
Philip Dutta, one of the leading comedian in the Union of Idina known for his observational comedy about absurdities of life. He is also the founder and host of the show ‘Speak Up’ which premiers on Handbook and jokes about politics and persistently critiques the government and its policies through satire in from of skits and standup comedy. Speak-up has seen a significant increase in their subscriber database and has led to Philip becoming a household name in the Union of Idina.
The government organization that keeps track of Idina’s crime data, the Organization for Monitoring Crime (“OMC”), releases its “Annual Report of 2023” in the month of November. It claims that because of the large increase in social media and digital media platform usage due to digitization of the nation, there has been a sharp increase in cyber bullying, trolling, the sharing of fake news, cyber stalking, and other cybercrimes. The OMC advised the government to act quickly to address the threat posed by these problems.
After reading the OMC Annual Report in early 2023, the Union Government recommended the Ministry of Electronics and Information and Technology (MeIT) to develop better regulations governing all digital platforms to combat the rise of such cyber-crimes. The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2023 (referred to as the “IT Rules”) were published in the Official Gazette on December 20th, 2024. These regulations mandated the appointment of compliance officers and the establishment of self-regulatory bodies by the intermediaries and digital media platforms. In addition, the intermediaries will have to comply with the regulations’ provisions and Section 69 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act, 2000”) in order to reveal the content of any electronic message pertaining to the ‘initial originator’, the person responsible for the creation of such message.
