Hemin Bharucha, Chief Representative - India, London & Partners, chipped in to say earlier this year, one such company from Chennai chose London to expand its business there. Be it the unicorns like Oyo or Ola, London & Partners’ focus is to provide a platform to nurture and handhold entrepreneurs and enterprises.

 “India is the second largest investor in the UK and notably 40 per cent of the investments come from south,” Bharucha said, adding mid-sized companies were the main focus, enabling them with all kind of exposure such as access to funding, networking opportunities, identifying potential markets and customers, legal framework and accounting.

 This year, seven new companies have leveraged the support provided by London & Partners. Over 120 projects, including new and existing ones, have generated employment in the UK to 110,000 people, of which 5,500 were highend jobs created last year.

 Chappell said their free programmes provided an opportunity to tap big growth areas and the advantage that Indian business leaders possessed is the quick decisionmaking abilities. “They have good understanding of the potential and their key request is find the customer,” she added.
