Iconic sweetmeat chain KC Das is eyeing a return to the United Kingdom after more than five decades, encouraged by the proposed India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and rising demand for authentic Indian food brands overseas. ADVERTISEMENT"We are actively looking for a suitable partner for the UK venture. We have requested the Deputy High Commission in Kolkata to help us find a suitable partner," he added. On sourcing of raw materials, Das said exports of key inputs from India would not be feasible due to stringent UK regulations. Fleming had described the pact as the most "comprehensive and ambitious" trade agreement negotiated by both countries and expected to get this rolling by middle of 2026.
