Vishnu,
why would you want to do that? Thousands of jobs have gone from here, and thousands more are still being moved abroad now.
In India, you'll find lots of British call centres. In china and elsewhere, you'll find British, and former British companies and production facilities. Outsourcing continues...
So if you want to work for any British companies, simply work outside the UK. India, for example.
Even the !#@£#*%# at the NHS are outsourcing their printing jobs to workers in India.
Almost everytime I phone a company, an Indian answers the phone.
Englindia is a sinking ship. Try elsewhere, for Vishnu's sake.

Hi Vishnu,
My advice would be to set your heart on somewhere other than London. It's a wonderful city in many respects but is a very expensive place to live. You'll struggle to find even the most basic accommodation for less than £100 a week (8800 Rupees) and realistically you're looking at spending closer to £200 (17,600) a week for something half decent.
As a newcomer to the city you may find it very hard to find a job that pays enough to get by on. If you do move to London then make sure you have a job available for you when you get here, that it's reasonably well paid and that it's a long term position.
There are many Indians living in London and in areas such as Wembley I'd guess that that majority of the residents are Indian or of Indian descent, you may already have friends and relatives who can advise you about moving here.
Sadly, moving to London (or any part of the UK for that matter) isn't always as good as it's made out to be and many people have been sadly disappointed after having made the move for themselves.
If you're a typical Indian then you'll be honest, hard-working and conscientious - qualities which are increasingly hard to find and which an employer will value. These things will stand you in good stead whatever type of job you go for.
London is a very diverse city and I wouldn't say there's a particular trade or profession which would be more beneficial than others. Obviously if you're educated to University standard, have professional qualifications and experience then it will be easier to find a good job but even with all these attributes it can be a lengthy process and many immigrants have to take menial work (such as cleaning or bar work) whilst they get themselves established.
I guess the important thing is not to set your expectations too high. The streets of London aren't paved with gold and all too often people move here for a better life and live to regret it.
Hopefully you know people who are already here who can advise you, if not then I'd recommend a visit to London before you commit yourself to moving here.
Good luck.

You can be either a surgeon or a waiter; these are the only alternatives open to Indians, I'm afraid. It's the law.

Hey, what is the use asking, Do we know your qualifications? Unless we are well aware of your abilities how can we advise you?
