NASSCOM India Leadership Summit 2010

We have just come back from a rather successful trip to India to the NASSCOM India Leadership Summit 2010 in Mumbai. We are pleased to say we spoke to 200 different companies over 5 days, a number of whom are considering setting up business in London as part of their global business development plans.

We are very proud to say that we have been helping Indian companies looking at expanding business in London since 1994 and TASMAC, Intas Pharmaceuticals, SBI Capital Markets and Haldiram are just a few of our clients that our London consultants have helped.

The NASSCOM summit had sessions dedicated to leadership and vision and as we reported a week or so ago, London is still the number one destination for Indian investors who have that vision and determination to globalise.

Our Touchdown London service has helped many Indian investors take the first steps to setting up business in London, offering free desk space for the first 12 months, plus an on-hand Think London business development manager to guide companies through the process of business in London.

A particular focus we found during the trip was interest from Indian IT companies looking at relocation in London. For the first time in the last 12 months, companies were confidently talking about their expansion plans, timelines and job numbers. In addition those who already have a presence in London are looking at acquisition opportunities elsewhere in the world to add to their success in London.

We also found a keen interest in our London recruitment offering as part of our business development service to help any overseas company access the skills and talent they need for their London business.

Overall the NASSCOM Summit was extremely successful and we look forward to helping more companies move to the number one capital in the world with Think London.
