India and the United Kingdom share a modern partnership bound by strong historical ties. India's growing youth population, higher purchasing power, and rising relevance on the global stage make it a strategic interest for governments across the world.

In today's episode of Inside India, Ben Hayward is joined by Lord Karan Bilimoria, Founder, and Chairman of Cobra Beer. A British-Indian entrepreneur, Karan wears multiple hats - he is also the Chancellor at the University of Birmingham, an active member of the House of Lords, and a very prominent supporter of strengthening the UK-India relationship - and was the founding Chairman of the UK India Business Council. So, today we’ll bring you Karan’s story of how he turned a small idea in a university pub in Cambridge into a multi-million dollar brewing business. Cobra was one of the pioneering export beers and Karan’s vision of bringing a taste of India to Britain back in the 1980s has played a prominent role in the rise of Indian food culture in the UK.
