+91 Europe is the fastest growing network of Indian entrepreneurs, corporate executives and professionals in the world.  The growth in membership reflects the success of the Indian diaspora as well as the emergence of the Indian economy as an influential player on the global stage.

+91 Europe has members in Manchester, Leicester, Birmingham, London, Delhi, Mumbai, Goa,  Bangalore, Trivandrum, Chennai, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Anguilla, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Munich, Geneva, Bern, Zurich, Madrid, Lisbon, Cape Town, Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney. 

+91 Europe is based in the UK and was initially created to meet the following needs:

• Facilitate networking between the Indian business and professionals community;
  
  
• Facilitate interaction between the UK and Indian business and professionals communities;
  
  
• Work with private and public sector organisations to promote  international trade;
  
  
• Provide a forum for business education;
  
  
• Create business and cultural links between UK and India;
  
  

The UK is fortunate to enjoy close ties with India through a shared history, common language, and large expatriated communities in both countries.  + 91 aims to ensure that increased co-operation between UK and Indian businesses will help future generations view each other as natural partners.

However, as membership has spread across the world, +91 Europe is inviting applications from members who wish to establish the network in their local cities.  This will further enhance the effectiveness of +91 Europe  and help connect the estimated 30 million strong Indian diaspora.

We selected the name + 91 because it is the international telephone dialling code for India, and a unique identifier of India across the world.

+91 Europe is an independent members network.

Thomas Friedman, Pulitzer Prize Winner and New York Times columnist, on a recent visit to Bangalore wrote, “No one ever gave me directions like this on a golf course before: Aim at either Microsoft or IBM.

I was standing on the first tee at the KGA Golf Club in downtown Bangalore, in Southern India, when my playing partner pointed at two shiny glass-and-steel buildings off in the distance, just behind the first green.

The Goldman Sachs building wasn't done yet; otherwise he could have pointed that out as well and made it a threesome. HP and Texas Instruments had their offices on the back nine, along the tenth hole. That wasn't all. The tee markers were from Epsom, the printer company, and one of our caddies was wearing a hat from 3M.

Outside some of the traffic signs were also sponsored by Texas Instruments, and the Pizza Hut billboard on the way over showed a steaming pizza, under the headline ‘Gigabites of Taste!’ Was this the New World, Old World, or the Next World?“
