Our Vision
To connect the East-Midlands (UK) and the States of India. This is to ease the exchange of ideas, talent, technology, and services. It provides opportunities for economic growth in both countries. It further assists in seeking solutions for global challenges.
IBTC’s value is driven by the dialogue with the late Hon Dr Abdul Kalam President of India at the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the IBTC delegation.
Dr Kalam said “ British Indians loyalty and absolute commitment first and foremost should be to their adopted home, the United Kingdom. Via their umbilical connection to India, opportunity to further strengthen any links between two great nations- is where the challenge and rewards of their future endeavours lie” .
