Prodapt, an India-headquartered global consulting, technology and managed services provider, on Tuesday announced that it plans to double its investment in the UK market to £100 million.
The investment commitment is the result of a strong growth opportunity that Prodapt sees in the UK’s technology sector, the company said. The move has been welcomed by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was in India for a two-day visit last week.
Johnson said: “Trade and investment between the UK and India is creating good jobs and sustaining livelihoods in both of our countries.
