About India Week
India Week® 2026 is the place to engage in high level discussions on the New India
India continues to lead global economic growth, outpacing other major economies. As the world grapples with the realities of a multipolar order, including tariff shocks from Washington, India has demonstrated remarkable economic resilience.
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Partnership between the UK and India is now negotiated but needs Parliamentary ratification before both countries start seeing benefit. Backed by the ambitious India-UK Vision 2035 Roadmap, the UK and India are accelerating their dynamic partnership.
This shift is not just about trade numbers; it’s about seizing opportunities and fixing shared challenges across vital sectors: technology, advanced manufacturing, and financial services.
EPG’s India Week 2026 is an annual get-together of change-makers, policy and business leaders for high-level discussions on pertinent topics. Our events were attended by over 1,200 delegates from nearly a dozen countries in 2025.

It was an honour to speak at the Bridge India conference. I first visited India many years ago and discovered such an incredible, diverse country. The people of the Indian diaspora strengthen our economy, culture and society – but are also at the heart of our communities.

“Delighted to speak to friends during India Week and highlight how a free trade agreement can benefit both nations. A UK-India trade deal is a huge opportunity for both sides, and could boost our £38bn trading relationship and pull down barriers to trade.”
