India–UK FTA Combines Strengths Of Both Nations: Sunil Bharti Mittal

In an exclusive conversation with Business Today TV, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder & Chairman of Bharti Enterprises and co-Chair of the India–UK CEO Forum, underscored the strategic value of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement. He described it as a “powerful combination,” especially significant for the UK as it charts a new economic path post-Brexit. Mittal noted that while the UK brings cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property in sectors like defense, nuclear energy, space, and biosciences, India offers a vast market, cost-efficient manufacturing, and abundant skilled talent. “There is tremendous complementarity,” he said, adding that both nations bring to the table exactly what the other needs—from green hydrogen to advanced drones and fighter jets—making this a future-oriented, win-win partnership.
