  As a firm with considerable involvement in India since 1991, we have watched the developments of the UK Indo Partnership and now the UK India Business Council (UK IBC) for many years. There is no doubt that through the passion and determination of its leadership, the rganization has put the India/UK relationship on a very strong footing. We look forward to continue to work with the UKIBC to jointly promote India/UK trade and investment to even greater levels.

  The UKIBC is the business rganization promoting trade and investment between India and the UK. It provides UK businesses with excellent profile building opportunities and facilitates contacts in India with businesses, politicians and officials, major trade bodies and professional bodies. Through UKIBC we have built many helpful relationships to promote our business objectives, especially through small discussion events with leading figures and seminars, in both the UK and India. I would recommend membership of UKIBC to any company which is looking to develop its business through the fantastic opportunities which India's continuing economic growth provides.
