INDIA FOCUS
India’s world class digital skills. The UK hopes to boost innovation and
productivity through collaboration on emerging technologies, mentoring and staff exchanges. The countries’ technology trade associations, TechUK and NASSCOM, will work together through a Tech Alliance to develop policies and create new jobs. Initially the pilot will connect the UK
with Pune in Maharashtra, focusing on the future of mobility, including low emission and autonomous vehicles, battery storage and vehicle light-weighting. Additional projects will be linked to Bangalore with a focus on augmented and virtual reality, advanced materials and AI. The Department for International Trade
also intends to recruit a UK cyber security industry expert to be based in New Delhi, to share British expertise and connect Indian private and public sector organisations with cutting-edge UK companies who can supply their specific requirements. Also in April, India entered another
significant tech partnership with New South Wales, inking a AUD 1.6 million deal to grow talent and share knowledge.
Gateway to India In an effort to ease travel access, the Indian
government has launched a web-based platform – e-FRRO services, for all visa-related services including registration and visa extension of foreign nationals residing in India according to an IKAN Relocations report. For relocating employees, India has steadily
become a more desirable location for career progression. In February, the latest HSBC Expat Explorer survey conducted with 27,587 expats from 159 countries revealed expats living in Mumbai were the highest paid expats, earning an average annual income of $217,165, compared to a global average of $99,903. Second on the list was San Francisco ($207,227), followed by Zurich ($206,875) in third place. The survey also notes that 44 per cent of
expats working in India were sent by their employer versus a global average of 13 per cent, allowing employees to benefit from a company relocation package of Western standards in terms of revenue. Mumbai, home to Tata Consultancy Services
– India’s largest tech company, was one of four Asian cities to feature in this year’s highest paying cities for expats.
