The event that was sponsored by Deloitte UK and organized by MIDAS under the \u2018Manchester India Partnership\u2019 (MIP) initiative was a huge success to say the least. The Manchester India Partnership, a movement initiated in 2018 was setup to develop and reinforce trade, investment, cultural and educational associations between Manchester and India. The event presented a unique platform for many Indian businesses who were attempting to establish themselves in the UK market, by allowing them to forge new connections and market themselves to the people who mattered. The event was organized at the prestigious MCR Museum in Manchester and was presided by bigwigs from Deloitte, MIDAS and graced by several other dignitaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/guires.uk\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/0-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guires.uk\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/0-11.jpg 944w, https:\/\/guires.uk\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/0-11-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/guires.uk\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/0-11-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event provided\na tremendous opportunity for Indian entrepreneurs to rub shoulders with an\neclectic mix of key business personnel from Manchester, under a highly electric\nambience which comprised of a blend of both Indian and British cultures.
