Mr. Srikanth Talluri, Founder of 6D and Co-Convener, Education & Skills Panel, CII Telangana, represented 6D (Works, Varsity) at the CII Roundtable on India–UK FTA opportunities in Services and Digital Trade.



In the session on India–UK FTA: Services & Digital Trade Chapters – Opportunities & Challenges, he highlighted:


  • GCCs → Large UK enterprises will benefit smoothly from the FTA through India-based innovation centers.

  • Startups & Mid-scale Firms → Require tailored policy support to capture opportunities.

  • Education & EdTech → Potential for AI-driven curriculum transformation, AVGC outsourcing, and UK universities considering partnered Campus Town models in India.

  • Higher-Order Talent → Collaboration opportunities in life sciences and pharma contract research, as UK seeks alternatives beyond China.



📈 With the right subsequent policy actions, the India–UK FTA can drive global education transformation and digital services leadership by 2035–2040.
