India is being bullish on
investment spree, a fact clearly underlined by the country deciding
on to acquire thirty one UK companies in 2007. As far as investments
are concerned, India, though moving at snail pace will catch up
the pace in very near future.
Driven by a strong economy,
India will certainly improve on its investment portfolio, says
experts. Also, a number of Indian companies are there which are
planning to buy up 150 UK businesses a year, making the UK a common
hunting ground for making large investments. Interestingly, a
whopping 6.8 billion pounds have already been invested in British
businesses in the past five years.
Tata’s acquisitions of Corus,
the British Dutch Steel Company and Appejay International’s achievement
in picking up UK’s Typhoon Tea were just some of the mega deals
held in the past two years.
One of the factors attributed
to a linguistic disadvantage and employment issues is lagging
behind of European countries. Contrary to this, India and the
UK continue with their so called strong cultural tie-ups which
they think is playing critical role in encouraging investments.
