Megrisoft Joins the 2017 IT Mission to the UK – Building Bridges in Tech and Innovation

Remember when a single trip could spark partnerships that shape your business for years? That’s the magic we chased at the 2017 IT Mission to the UK, a whirlwind week organized by the British Deputy High Commission.

Over 10 IT and ITES firms from Chandigarh, India, hit the road from February 27 to March 3, scouting opportunities in Manchester, Nottingham, Cardiff, and London. Representing Megrisoft UK was Aprajita Kohli, our Director and Head of European Business Development.

With her finger on the pulse of digital trends, Aprajita dove into sessions packed with insights, connections, and forward-thinking chats. Nearly a decade later, in 2025, those moments still fuel our strategies for UK tech growth. Let’s revisit the highlights, the hustle, and why events like this remain gold for SMEs eyeing international expansion.

The Mission Unpacked: A Five-Day Sprint Across UK Hotspots

This wasn’t a casual jaunt—it was a targeted push to link Indian IT talent with UK opportunities. Kicking off in Manchester’s vibrant tech scene, the delegation moved to Nottingham for innovation deep dives, Cardiff for startup vibes, and capped in London with high-stakes networking. Over five intense days, attendees rubbed shoulders with CEOs, policymakers, and influencers, all under the banner of fostering tech collaborations.

The British Deputy High Commission in Chandigarh spearheaded it, zeroing in on SMEs and startups in technology and innovation. Their goal? Bridge gaps, spotlight talent, and unlock doors for cross-border deals. Headed by Mr. Charanjiv Bachhar, Deputy Head of Mission, the event blended structured visits with open forums—think panel discussions on digital transformation, one-on-one investor meets, and tours of cutting-edge hubs. For firms like ours, navigating UK markets from e-commerce SEO to cloud solutions, it was a masterclass in spotting synergies.

Aprajita Kohli’s Take: Eyes on Opportunities, Ears on Insights

Aprajita stepped up with clear intent: Absorb wisdom from top speakers, map investment landscapes, and weave Megrisoft into the UK’s digital fabric. She joined talks on emerging trends—like early AI integrations and data privacy shifts—that echoed the GDPR rollout ahead. “These sessions lit a fire,” she later shared. “They weren’t just talks; they were blueprints for blending Indian agility with UK precision.”

The payoff? Fresh leads in web development partnerships and content marketing tie-ups, plus a network that evolved into ongoing client wins. Aprajita connected with ecosystem builders, from Manchester’s fintech crowd to London’s agency pros, turning casual hellos into collaborative edges. In today’s world of hybrid events and virtual intros, her approach reminds us: Real growth starts with genuine curiosity.
