Kadri Mujtaba, a distinguished craft revivalist from Kashmir and founder of the luxury pashmina brand, Me&K, has received a prestigious invitation to the House of Lords in the UK Parliament.
He will be participating in a roundtable discussion on ‘Gender Inclusivity in the UK-India Trade and Investment Relationship’, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 12.
The roundtable event is being organized by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on India (Trade & Investment) in collaboration with Kings College London. The APPG on India Trade and Investment is a cross-party group consisting of Members of both houses, including Peers from the House of Lords and MPs from the House of Commons. This interest group holds a crucial and influential position within the UK Parliament.
The primary objective of the APPG is to foster trade and investment between India and the UK, with the aim of benefiting the citizens of both nations and nurturing a strong and inclusive relationship.
This roundtable discussion forms part of the comprehensive project titled “Enablers and Obstacles to UK-India Trade.”
The project, funded by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) and ICSSR (Indian Council of Social Science Research), spans three years and involves collaborative efforts from academics at King’s College London, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, and the non-academic partner, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UK).
