Nasscom Forms UK Advisory Council to Deepen India–UK Tech Ties

India’s High Commissioner to the U.K., Periasamy Kumaran, told the forum that technological collaboration was playing an increasingly important role in bilateral relations. Indian IT companies were creating high-value jobs, building local talent and fostering innovation, he said. Growing cooperation in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence would support the objectives of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and the Technology Security Initiative, he added.

Nasscom President Rajesh Nambiar called the India–U.K. technology partnership a strategic pillar of economic growth and digital transformation for both countries. He said the TAC would provide a structured mechanism for policymakers and industry leaders to address opportunities and challenges arising from rapid technological change.

The report also found that Indian technology firms invest heavily in workforce development: over 88% of employees receive annual training, and nearly 30% undergo AI-related skilling programmes.
