The corridor at a glance
What the Forum does
Three functions. One accountable platform.
No other bilateral platform pairs policy input with commercial execution and government convening. We work the questions that move capital — and keep a record of what happens next.
We advise.
Strategic advice on market entry, structuring and timing — in either direction across the corridor.
We engage policy.
Issue mapping, regulatory consultation and sandbox proposals that feed evidence into policy on both sides.
We convene government.
Curated access to ministers, regulators, investment promotion bodies and state authorities in the UK and India.
MoU signing between the Maharashtra Economic Development Council and UKISIF.
