India’s rapid economic growth presents a wealth of opportunities for British businesses, while the UK remains an important gateway for Indian and other South Asian businesses, fuelled by access to Europe, political ties, and a deeply embedded diaspora.

But capitalising on these markets doesn’t only demand knowledge of the regulations – it takes cultural insight, linguistic expertise, and a network that can truly open doors. Our local India member firm gives you easy access to a network of businesses and intermediaries.

At Grant Thornton, we offer more than just market-leading technical expertise. With over 34 years of hands-on experience, we are a trusted partner helping businesses navigate local markets and expand across the UK-India corridor.

Whether you’re investing in the UK, building connections within the diaspora, or exploring opportunities in India, we bring the knowledge, experience, and connections to turn your ambitions into reality.

We bring over three decades of experience supporting businesses across the UK and South Asia to navigate local business, regulatory requirements, social etiquette and more.
