The Consul General joined BBC Radio’s Richard Stead to discuss the upcoming India–North England Opportunity Summit, to be held on 20 March at the iconic Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Highlighting India—the world’s fastest-growing major economy—and North England’s position as a gateway to the UK and Europe, she underscored the strong foundations already in place for a deepened partnership. With direct connectivity, an advancing trade agreement, and a dedicated Consulate, the conditions are well aligned to unlock new avenues of collaboration. The inaugural India–North England Opportunity Summit will bring together stakeholders across sectors to translate this shared vision into tangible outcomes and long-term partnerships. Joining her on air was Manchester’s own Reuben Singh—distinguished entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and a leading example of the dynamism of the India–UK corridor. At the Summit, he will share insights from his global journey and inspire businesses to scale success stories across markets. We look forward to welcoming participants to this landmark Summit for substantive and forward-looking discussions in the region. @BBCRadioManc @RichardStead @ReubenSingh @HCI_London @MEAIndia @MIB_India @mygovindia @IndianDiplomacy @FollowCII

Beyond conversations between industry leaders and policymakers, the India–North England Summit also celebrates the cultural connections that bring our nations together through art, heritage, and creativity. A highlight of the summit will be a dazzling neon lit white tiger sculpture by renowned British-Indian artist Chila Kumari Singh Burman MBE, who will also be present at the event for guests to meet. The artwork reflects Burman’s bold visual style, blending bright colour, pop culture influences, and South Asian symbolism. Inspired by the tiger, a powerful national emblem of India, the piece stands as a vibrant symbol of resilience, pride, and identity, bringing art and culture into the heart of the summit. @CKBURMAN @MEAIndia @HCI_London @FollowCII @MCRIndia @mygovindia @IndianDiplomacy @diaspora_india @MIB_India @iccr_hq
