巴克莱集团首席执行官C.S.文卡塔克里希南表示，Airtel Money将在未来几周于伦敦上市，这凸显出印度企业和资本正加速流入英国。文卡塔克里希南对CNBC-TV18表示：“我们看到双向出口都在增加。印度企业持续寻求在英国扩张。”他以巴帝电信投资英国电信以及Airtel Money即将在伦敦进行首次公开募股为例，说明印英商业走廊日益壮大。
Airtel Money is set to go public in London in the coming weeks, Barclays Group CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan said, highlighting the growing flow of Indian companies and capital into the UK.“We're seeing an increased amount of exports in both directions. You're seeing Indian companies continuing to look to expand in the UK,” Venkatakrishnan told CNBC-TV18. He cited Bharti’s investment in British Telecom and Airtel Money’s upcoming London IPO as examples of the growing India-UK business corridor.
“Airtel Money将在几周内在伦敦上市。我们有幸参与了这两笔交易。我认为你会看到更多此类案例。”他说。文卡塔克里希南是在谈及英印贸易协定的影响时作出上述表态的。他表示，该协定正帮助两国之间的商品和服务以更顺畅的方式、在更低的关税下流动。巴克莱预计印英商业往来将进一步增加。文卡塔克里希南认为，该贸易协定应有助于英国企业在印度销售商品，也有助于印度企业扩大在英国的业务版图。
“Airtel Money is IPOing in London in a few weeks. We've been privileged to help with both of those transactions. I think you'll see more of this,” he said. Venkatakrishnan was speaking about the impact of the UK-India trade agreement, which he said was helping goods and services move between the two countries in a more streamlined manner and at lower tariffs. Barclays sees more India-UK business flowsAccording to Venkatakrishnan, the trade agreement should help UK companies sell goods in India, and Indian companies expand their presence in the UK.“As a bank that operates in this corridor and has done a lot in this corridor, we hope to make that happen in a more efficient and seamless way for parties on both sides,” he said.
他说：“作为在这条走廊上运营并已在这条走廊上做了大量工作的银行，我们希望帮助双方以更高效、更无缝的方式实现这一目标。”他还指出，印度在巴克莱全球运营中的角色日益重要。该银行在全球拥有约10万名员工，其中约3万人在印度，业务遍及古尔冈、诺伊达和德里、浦那、孟买以及金奈。文卡塔克里希南表示，巴克莱已不再只是把个别流程转移到印度，而是越来越多地转移整个流程，以及新业务的设计和运营。
He also pointed to India's growing role in Barclays' global operations. The bank has around 100,000 employees globally, of whom about 30,000 are in India, with operations across Gurugram, Noida and Delhi, Pune, Mumbai and Chennai. Venkatakrishnan said Barclays has moved beyond shifting individual processes to India and is increasingly moving entire processes, as well as the design and operation of new activities.“A lot of that will happen from India,” he said, referring to the potential for artificial intelligence to enable cheaper and better customer service, product creation and greater personalisation.
他在谈到人工智能有望带来更便宜、更优质的客户服务、产品创造以及更高程度的个性化时说：“其中很多都将从印度完成。”巴克莱计划扩大其在印度的股票业务文卡塔克里希纳安还表示，巴克莱正寻求重新进入印度股票市场，他将其描述为印度业务中“缺失的一环”。
“我们在印度有着强烈的意愿。我们拥有庞大的投资银行业务、市场业务、企业银行业务和私人银行业务，”他说道。
“股票业务一直是缺失的一环，而印度股票市场是一个非常成熟的市场。”
Barclays plans to expand equities business in IndiaVenkatakrishnan also said Barclays is looking to re-enter India's equities market, which he described as a missing piece in its India business.“We have a lot of appetite in India. We have a big investment banking business, a markets business, a corporate banking business, and a private bank business,” he said.“Equities has been a missing piece, and the Indian equity market is a very sophisticated market.”
他表示，巴克莱希望帮助印度公司（尤其是中型企业）进入国内和全球资本市场。
“我们希望帮助他们不仅进入印度市场，还能进入全球市场，并在将投资引入印度方面发挥我们的作用。股票业务这一块一直缺失，我们需要修复它。”
He said Barclays wants to help Indian companies, particularly mid-sized firms, access both domestic and global capital markets.“We want to help them gain access to not just the Indian market but to global markets and play our role in bringing investment into India. The equities piece has been missing, and we need to fix it.”
文卡塔克里希纳安还表示，印度7.5%的经济增长促使印度企业扩大海外扩张的雄心壮志，包括通过收购和技术主导的扩张。
Venkatakrishnan also said India's 7.5% economic growth was contributing to greater ambition among Indian companies to expand overseas, including through acquisitions and technology-led expansion.
