Today is a big day. 15 July 2026: the India-UK CETA comes into force.

I have been watching this deal develop for years. As someone who has spent over a decade building in the UK, working with international founders and helping businesses understand the UK market, I can tell you this matters.

This is not just a trade deal. It is a structural shift in how India and the UK do business together. Cheaper goods. Wider services access. A social security agreement that saves Indian professionals up to 25% of salary in National Insurance contributions. 3,000 new post-study work visas for Indian graduates. 20,000 annual slots for Indian service professionals.

If you are an Indian founder, professional or business owner with any connection to the UK market, this is your starting point.

Save it. Share it with someone who needs to understand what changed today.

I will be sharing a lot more on this over the coming weeks; what it means for specific sectors, for founders, for businesses looking to build India-UK commercial relationships. Follow along so you don’t miss it.
