India Connector® | India–UK Business Networking Event London

India Connector® London connects Indian & UK founders, investors, and business leaders for networking, trade, investment, and partnerships. About India Connector brings together Indian, British, and global founders, investors, and business leaders to foster high-calibre relationships, cross-border commerce, cultural exchange, and long-term partnerships. What is India Connector? India Connector is an executive evening networking event hosted at the Institute of Directors (IoD) in central London. The evening is designed around organic, human-to-human dialogue across three distinct, overlapping communities: • Cross-Border Commerce: Leaders actively sourcing, supplying, investing, or expanding operations between the UK and India. • Indian Diaspora: British-Indian professionals and business owners, including the prominent diaspora of East African heritage (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania), bridging rich multi-cultural business networks. • Cultural & Strategic Affinity: Founders, directors, and investors who resonate with Indian culture, values, and relationship-driven enterprise. Whether your focus is expanding an enterprise, allocating capital, or simply widening your circle among trusted peers, India Connector provides a sophisticated, relaxed platform to connect. The First Edition The inaugural India Connector® takes place at the historic Institute of Directors (IoD), 116 Pall Mall, London, on 25 September 2026 from 5:00 PM. Held alongside other international connector circles—including the China Connector—this inaugural edition gathers senior leaders before seamlessly blending into the broader London Connector® community later in the evening. Who Should Attend? • Founders & Business Owners: Entrepreneurs building scalable ventures across the UK, India, and East Africa. • Investors & Capital Allocators: Angels, family offices, and private equity professionals seeking proprietary deal flow and syndicated partnerships. • Cross-Border Trade Specialists: Importers, exporters, and international business leaders navigating the UK–India trade corridor. • Strategic Advisors & C-Suite Executives: Corporate directors, M&A specialists, and senior advisors across technology, property, finance, and professional services. • Affinity Professionals: Anyone with a genuine personal, cultural, or business affinity for the region and its global network.
