India and the UK have been exchanging expertise in a range of key areas of the EoDB sector. The success of these exchanges led to the UK and India signing a Memorandum of Understanding on Ease of Doing Business in November 2016. This was followed by the first UK-India Ease of Doing Business conference, held in Delhi in December 2016 with representatives from state and national government in India meeting with experts from UK government departments. This project has been undertaken to ensure continuity of activities that are necessary for stakeholder engagement and momentum of the programme.
