UK, India likely to unveil trade deal next week, sources say
India and Britain are expected to seal a long-awaited free trade deal next week, two Indian government sources said, granting Indian textiles and electric vehicles some duty-free access to the UK market and easing British exports of whisky, cars and food. In May, both countries announced the conclusion of trade negotiations after three years of stop-start negotiations, aiming to increase bilateral trade, remove trade barriers and allow duty-free entry of goods. The countries are now preparing to formally sign the agreement, and the announcement could coincide with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to London next week, one of the Indian officials said. The trade pact will take effect in about a year, after it is approved by the British parliament and India's federal cabinet, the official added. Officials spoke on the condition of anonymity as the details are not public. "The trade agreement offers a win-win for both countries," the second Indian source said, adding that Indian consumers would gain access to Scotch whisky at lower prices, as import tariffs will drop to 75% from 150% immediately, and further to 40% over the next decade. On cars, India will cut duties to 10% from 100% under a quota system that will be gradually liberalised, the sources said. In return, Indian manufacturers are expected to gain access to the UK market for electric and hybrid vehicles, also under a quota regime, they added. India's commerce ministry did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. Britain's trade ministry said that the countries were working to finalise the deal. "We have been working with India on a landmark trade deal that will deliver for British people and business," a UK government spokesperson said. India's trade ministry has said 99% of Indian exports to Britain would benefit from zero duty under the deal, including textiles, while Britain will see reductions on 90% of its tariff lines. An Indian trade delegation is separately holding talks in Washington, for a potential trade deal with the U.S. as President Donald Trump ramps up his trade war with the threat of sharply higher tariffs from August 1. By 2030, India's middle class is projected to reach 60 million people and could rise to a quarter of a billion by 2050, according to British government estimates. India's overall import demand is forecast to grow by 144% in real terms to 1.4 trillion pounds ($1.88 trillion) by 2035, compared to 2021. ($1 = 0.7434 pounds)

Amiseq's Z‑Deploy to streamline, accelerate cybersecurity solutions; opens Dubai office
With its new AI-powered platform and regional hub, Amiseq aims to redefine cybersecurity deployments and deepen its footprint across the Middle East and beyond. Amiseq, a global IT services company at the forefront of cybersecurity and intelligent automation, has marked a major milestone with the launch of its new regional office in Dubai and the introduction of its pioneering zero-touch deployment platform, Z-Deploy. Designed to streamline and accelerate the implementation of cybersecurity solutions, Z-Deploy promises to cut deployment times drastically—from days to hours—while ensuring consistency across cloud, hybrid, and even air-gapped environments. Nilesh Jadhav, CEO & Co-Founder of Amiseq, shares with insights on the significance of the Dubai expansion, the innovation journey behind Z-Deploy, and the company's ambitious roadmap for global growth. Interview excerpts: What does the inauguration of your new office represent for the company's growth and presence in the region? The opening of our new office in Dubai is a pivotal moment in Amiseq's journey. It symbolizes our long-term commitment to the Middle East and our confidence in the region's digital transformation momentum. This space is more than just a workplace—it's a regional innovation hub designed to bring us closer to our clients, accelerate collaboration, and scale our operations to meet growing demand. What inspired the development of Z-Deploy, and what key problems does it aim to solve for your customers? Z-Deploy was born from a clear market need. Our clients were facing significant delays and resource constraints when deploying cybersecurity solutions. The process was often manual, time-consuming, and dependent on certified engineers. We envisioned Z-Deploy as a zero-touch, intelligent automation platform that could eliminate these bottlenecks, enabling faster, more secure, and scalable deployments across complex IT environments. How does Z-Deploy enable faster and more efficient deployment processes across modern IT environments? Z-Deploy leverages AI-driven orchestration to automate the entire deployment lifecycle—from configuration to validation—across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and even air-gapped environments. It reduces deployment time from days to hours, ensures consistency, and minimizes human error. For example, we've successfully reduced the deployment time for a market leader with a Vulnerability Management solution from five days to under two hours. What was the role of your in-house team in developing Z-Deploy, and how does this reflect your approach to innovation? Z-Deploy is a 100% in-house innovation, developed by our Intelligent Automation team. From ideation to MVP and go-live, every milestone was achieved internally. This reflects our belief in cultivating homegrown talent and fostering a culture of ownership and experimentation. 'Our agile development approach ensured rapid iteration, scalability, and alignment with real-world customer needs.' Following this launch, what future plans do you have for expanding your technology offerings and regional footprint? This launch is just the beginning. We're actively expanding Z-Deploy's capabilities to support a broader range of enterprise applications and cybersecurity tools. Regionally, we're scaling our presence in EMEA, APAC and North America, with new offices and strategic hires already in motion. Our roadmap includes deeper OEM integrations, enhanced analytics, and AI-powered decision support—ensuring we continue to deliver transformative value to our clients worldwide.
