“Trade and investment between the UK and India is creating good jobs and sustaining livelihoods in both of our countries,” said Johnson.
“I’m very pleased that Tech Mahindra has decided to join the legions of Indian companies investing in the UK, boosting our technology sector and driving economic growth.”
The initiative is in line with Tech Mahindra’s focus on co-innovation & digital transformation with customers, partners, and academia by leveraging next gen technologies.

“Tech Mahindra aims to bring out the best of solutions powered by next-gen technologies for industries to solve specific challenges.
