Valerie Vaz MP, who was the Keynote speaker and host at the event said, “It is vital for our community to come together and engage with Parliament, not only to hear from parliamentarians but also to facilitate meaningful exchanges with individuals visiting from India and members of the Indian diaspora in the UK.
“India’s growing global significance, with its rapid economic growth projected to outpace other nations in the coming years, underscores the importance of strengthening this partnership. Building friendships and maintaining open dialogue are crucial for fostering an exchange of ideas and perspectives.
“These efforts will enhance trade opportunities and cultural collaboration, ensuring a deeper connection between the two nations. By bringing people together, we can create a platform for shared understanding, cooperation, and the celebration of our vibrant cultures.”
Mr L. George, Director Luminary Networks Ltd, co-host of the awards said, “The aim of these awards is to recognise the accomplishments of Indian businesses excelling across various sectors and to inspire those looking to establish or grow their presence in the UK.
“India and the UK share a unique and evolving relationship, rooted in history and strengthened by shared values and mutual aspirations. With its focus on fostering innovation, infrastructure development, and global partnerships, India is creating an enabling environment for businesses to expand both domestically and internationally. This momentum aligns seamlessly with the UK’s vision of being a global hub for trade and investment.
“The growth story underscores the entrepreneurial spirit of Indian businesses and their confidence in the UK as a preferred investment destination. With the UK continuing to position itself as a gateway to global markets and India driving its own growth ambitions, I am optimistic that the coming years will see even deeper collaboration, unlocking new opportunities for innovation, investment, and shared prosperity.”
