As the UK and India inch closer to sealing their most ambitious bilateral trade agreement post-Brexit, the stakes have never been higher. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks to Pallavi Joshi Bakhru, Partner and UK Corridor Leader at Grant Thornton Bharat to unpack the long-awaited deal poised to reshape £43 billion in annual trade between the two nations.
With UK exporters set to save up to £900 million in tariffs and Indian workers finally gaining access to the long-sought Social Security Agreement, the episode dives into what each country truly stands to gain. Questions remain: Have thorny issues like data protection, IP rights, and worker mobility really been resolved? Can this deal serve as a blueprint for India’s much-anticipated pact with the US? And will promises on paper translate into performance on the ground? Stay tuned for a sharp look at a trade moment that could redefine bilateral economics in a fractured global order.
