There is an expectation that the  last two years of declining growth in the sub-continent will be reversed. Lee Ignatius of recruitment consultant Vahura said: ‘We've observed a small, but encouraging trend of professionals [moving] to magic circle firms at the junior to mid-level. Given the change in the government and the new budget, we hope to see these numbers rise.’ 

Steady increase

Nilufer von Bismarck of the Slaughters and May India desk said: ‘We are seeing a steady increase in work coming out of, or related to, India and share the optimism of clients and others in the UK that such work will continue.’ Source: Economic Times
