UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday said the UK will roll out the red carpet for Indian companies seeking to create jobs, drive growth, and succeed in the country, while also encouraging UK firms to expand and thrive in India.
He added that the UK aspires to be India's partner of choice in finance and financial technology (fintech).
Speaking at the Global Fintech Fest 2025, Starmer said, "I am here to extend an invitation to all of you to do business with Britain, to see the UK as your gateway to going global. If you want to create great jobs and growth, we are rolling out the red carpet. We want leading Indian firms to flourish in the UK, taking their business global. And British firms selling into India are growing and thriving here too."
