Hard Brexit an opportunity to Indian IT companies: Expert

BENGALURU: A hard Brexit would benefit India’s information technology (IT) servicesNSE 0.55 % companies to strengthen partnerships in the UK with anticipated easing of flow of high-skilled manpower, an industry expert said.

Former NASSCOM President, R Chandrashekhar expressed the view that if there was a “hard” Brexit, the UK would look for new partners and also eye establishing (new) partnerships in technology space.

“… they (the UK) have already indicated that they want to be more open to high-skilled manpower from India because in the current European Union regime, it is obviously easy for people from Europe to go to the UK compared to from India, even highly-skilled people.
