On Monday, at the India-UK Tech Summit, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Bharti chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal said:
Given that the UK is moving out of EU in one form or the other, it needs large markets like India, and India can do much more with technology that comes out of the UK in defence, manufacturing and Information Technology space…
When asked about his expectations from the UK government, Mittal said:
They should welcome Indian industry more. They should allow more Indian people to move into the UK... We add jobs and value…
On the recent changes in the UK visa policy affecting Tier 2 intra-company transfer, Mittal stated:
They (the changes) are on the margin... it is small amount... it is not something that shakes the needle... But I am pleased to hear the British PM (Theresa May) talk about special registration for Indian businesses who frequently visit the UK...
It is important to mention here that Theresa May announced an easier visa regime under the ‘Registered Traveller Scheme’, which will make entry process simpler for frequent Indian business travellers through British airports.
