      2019-06-26T08:23:51+00:00June 25th, 2019|2019, Special Edition – June 2019|

      A symbiotic approach between the UK and India can address the challenges of reskilling and set a remarkable example of co-creation in the digital era, notes a prominent Indian tech expert.

        2020-09-21T08:56:41+00:00June 25th, 2019|2019, Special Edition – June 2019|

        Cyber security and data protection open several doors for cooperation between the UK and India, asserts an intelligence and security expert. A strategic partnership is based on the commonality of interests. It also presupposes a high degree of trust between the partners that is aimed at achieving those interests. A strategic partnership further demands constant dialogue to ensure that the partnership stays on course. The India-UK relationship is, to my mind, at the cusp of shaping itself into a multi-dimensional [...]

            Business Development Companies (BDCs) are a viable approach to fulfil the financial needs of the SME sector, which currently plays a tremendous role in job creation and economic growth in India. India stands at a time of great economic achievement and even greater economic opportunity. This is not mere cheerleading, but a view validated in recent years by the United Nations’ Ease of Doing Business (UN EODB) Report. India has made dramatic strides climbing up the UN EODB rankings, where [...]

                India, UK and the Dawn of the Afro-Asian Century

                A partnership between the UK, India and Africa can not only redefine the current global ethic but also easily become one of the most significant trilateral relationships in the coming years. As we approach the third decade of the 21st century, it is unmistakable that Asia now has a twin – Africa. Even as economists and political pundits alike contest and celebrate the Asian Century, it would be erroneous to ignore the promise that a full one-fifth of humanity that [...]

                  India and the UK: Partnering for Infrastructure Development

                  There are several opportunities for collaboration with the UK as India looks to meet its ambitious infrastructure development goals. India is one of the fastest growing major economies and is perhaps the largest market for commercially viable infrastructure projects outside the large OECD markets. The Indian Ministry of Finance estimates the country’s infrastructure investments needs at $200 billion annually for the next twenty years. At the current pace of investment, however, there is an annual deficit of about $90 billion. [...]

                    2019-06-26T08:14:46+00:00June 25th, 2019|2019, Special Edition – June 2019|

                    With more and more companies turning to green practices, an industry expert shares what it takes to build successful sustainable enterprises. For a globally integrating and fast-growing economy that is as large as that of India, the outbound growth of its enterprises is an inevitable trend. This is despite the domestic market being an attractive playing field for new entrepreneurs, start-ups, and multinational corporations.

                      A defining UK-India partnership against protectionism

                      In a world shaken up by the emergency of climate change and headwinds of protectionism, the UK and India have a chance to prove how their combined force for good can set the pace for a rules-based global order. India looks poised to overtake the UK as the world’s fifth-largest economy this year, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections for the year ahead, as a Brexit-worn Britain loses some of its economic heft. Some of these significant shifts in [...]
