India Global Forum (IGF) London 2025 is set to become a landmark event heralding a new chapter in UK–India relations, the organizers said.

Set to take place from June 18–20 at the QEII Centre, in London, the event will feature the first joint public session between India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds, following the signing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

The dialogue between the two ministers is expected to chart the strategic roadmap for the FTA’s implementation and explore its potential to reshape bilateral trade and cooperation.  “At India Global Forum, we are focused on turning shared ambition into lasting impact across commerce, culture, innovation, and investment,” said Manoj Ladwa, founder and chairman of IGF.

A key highlight will be the launch of Grant Thornton’s India Meets Britain Tracker, developed in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and IGF. The report identifies the fastest-growing Indian-owned businesses in the UK and analyses the investment landscape in a post-FTA context.

Day 2 will focus on science and technology, with a keynote by Patrick Vallance, UK Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation. Discussions will address quantum tech, pandemic preparedness, and digital infrastructure.

Culture and creativity take centre stage on Day 3, including a keynote session by spiritual leader Gauranga Das and an exclusive appearance by music legend AR Rahman. Rahman will reflect on blending traditional music with emerging technologies.

The IGF Archer Amish Award for Storytellers will also be awarded, recognising outstanding Indian fiction that reflects the nation’s modern identity.
