The latest India Meets Britain Tracker, produced by Grant Thornton UK LLP and the Confederation of Indian Industry, gives a fantastic snapshot of the fastest-growing Indian companies in the UK.
According to the report, 62 companies achieved an annual growth rate of 10% or more this year. Between them, these fast-growing companies earned total revenues exceeding £12 billion – more than double the £6 billion achieved in 2018. Technology and telecoms companies continue to dominate, with London being the preferred location for more than half.
Commenting on the report, Gillian Kerr from Trade Horizons, said: “In the last 5 years, we have seen a real change in the type of Indian companies entering the UK.
“Nowadays, our clients are founders, CEOs and companies who are mature international business people, who take a long term view on investing in the UK.
“Their focus is often to become a global company servicing customers around the world, recognising that often this strategy starts with showing they can succeed either in the UK or US.
“They are prepared to invest in getting their strategy right and in finding the right people with the right skillset to achieve their ambitions, as well as investing a lot in innovation to distinguish their product or service offering.
“We’ve enjoyed working with such clients in recent years, spanning a diverse mix of sectors; from pharmaceutical to business services, and increasingly technology.
“This shrewd approach will make India a global leader in many sectors in the years to come.”
