Senior leaders from Gujarat, the High Commission of India in the UK and India Global Forum spotlight investment, innovation and enterprise opportunities following the UK–India Free Trade Agreement

LONDON and GANDHINAGAR, India, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — India Global Forum today convened the Gujarat Future Forum: Regional Leadership, Global Opportunity at India House, London, as part of the landmark 10th edition of UK–India Week.

Hosted at the High Commission of India, the Forum brought together senior leaders from government, business and industry to examine Gujarat’s role in the next phase of the UK–India economic partnership, following the ratification of the landmark UK–India Free Trade Agreement.

The Forum focused on Gujarat’s growing importance as a global hub for industry, energy, finance, innovation and enterprise, and explored how businesses can translate the opportunities created by the FTA into investment, market access, technology collaboration and long-term commercial partnerships.

Gujarat’s role in regional delivery

The programme opened with remarks from Kartik Pandey, Deputy High Commissioner of India to the UK, who reflected on the growing depth of the UK–India strategic partnership and the role of enhanced market access, investment flows and business partnerships in accelerating growth on both sides.

Manoj Ladwa, Founder and Chairman, India Global Forum, delivered welcome remarks, setting the context for the discussion and highlighting Gujarat’s central role in moving the UK–India relationship from national agreement to regional delivery.

The Forum also included a Government of Gujarat presentation by Mamta Verma, Additional Chief Secretary, Industries and Mines, Government of Gujarat, who outlined Gujarat’s industrial ecosystem, investment-friendly policies, business-ready infrastructure and exponential growth over the past two decades. Her presentation underlined the importance of building deeper UK–Gujarat partnerships around shared priorities that can benefit both countries through trade, investment, innovation and long-term economic cooperation.

Turning the FTA dividend into action

A key highlight of the event was the fireside discussion, ‘The Gujarat Advantage and the FTA Dividend: Turning Opportunity into Action’, featuring Kanubhai Desai, Hon’ble Minister of Finance, Energy and Petrochemicals, Government of Gujarat.

The session explored how Gujarat’s manufacturing and export ecosystem is positioned to benefit from the UK–India FTA, where UK businesses should focus their attention, and what practical steps are needed to translate policy ambition into commercial success.

Kanubhai Desai, Hon’ble Minister of Finance, Government of Gujarat, said:

“Come to Gujarat without fear. Your investments are secure because Gujarat has robust policies, stable governance and a proven track record of delivery over the last two decades. As the UK and India move forward with the Free Trade Agreement, Gujarat is ready to work with UK businesses across manufacturing, energy, finance, technology and exports to build partnerships that create jobs, innovation and shared growth.”

He added:

“The FTA gives businesses on both sides a powerful new platform. Gujarat offers scale, speed and sectoral strength, and we want UK companies to see the state as a trusted gateway to India’s growth story. This is the right time to build deeper commercial links between Gujarat and the UK.”

Manoj Ladwa, Founder and Chairman, India Global Forum, said:

“Gujarat is not simply another Indian state seeking investment. It is one of India’s great engines of growth, built on enterprise, infrastructure, exports and delivery. The UK brings capital, law, finance, research and market access. Gujarat brings scale, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, policy focus and industrial depth. Bring these together, and the opportunity is practical, investable and immediate.”

He added:

“The FTA has opened the door, but agreements do not deliver themselves. The task now is to move from celebration to implementation, and from policy ambition to commercial reality.”

The Forum concluded with remarks from Minister Desai, who reiterated Gujarat’s strong record of policy stability, investor confidence and consistent delivery, inviting UK businesses to explore opportunities in the state with confidence.

A decade of UK–India Week

The Gujarat Future Forum was followed by a special Welcome Reception hosted by the High Commission of India to welcome delegates of India Global Forum on the 10th anniversary of UK–India Week. The reception brought together leaders across business, government and culture to reflect on a decade of progress and help shape the next phase of UK–India cooperation.

The event follows the launch earlier this week of the Gujarat–West Midlands Steering Committee, chaired by Manoj Ladwa, as part of India Global Forum’s work to strengthen the UK–India corridor through regional partnerships. Together, the West Midlands and Gujarat engagements underline a central theme of UK–India Week 2026: that the next phase of the bilateral relationship will be defined by delivery, regional leadership and practical economic outcomes.

UK–India Week 2026 continues with the Capital & Future Frontiers Forum on 25 June 2026, featuring Hon Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, and Rt Hon Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, followed by the prestigious UK–India Awards 2026, the flagship celebration of the people and partnerships shaping the UK–India corridor.

Premarket Acquires Maklare AI to Build Residential Real Estate’s First Demand Intelligence Platform

Published

By

Maklare AI co-founder and CEO Oliver Wenner joins Premarket as chief operating officer

NEW YORK, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Premarket, the agent-only platform centralizing private real estate listings across brokerages into a single searchable network, today announced the acquisition of Maklare AI, a New York-based artificial intelligence company focused on structuring demand-side data in residential real estate. As part of the transaction, Maklare AI co-founder Oliver Wenner joins Premarket as chief operating officer, bringing AI capabilities that accelerate Premarket’s intelligence roadmap.

The acquisition comes at a pivotal moment for the residential real estate industry. The rapid fragmentation of listing data — as brokerages and portals move inventory out of shared listing layers and into siloed networks — has created an acute information problem not only for agents but also for buyers and sellers. Premarket was built to solve it: a shared operating layer that centralizes siloed private inventory and buyer demand, giving agents a complete view of the market before it becomes public.

What has remained entirely opaque until now is the demand side.

Residential real estate has long operated with near-complete opacity on buyer demand, relying on anecdotal agent intelligence and historical transaction data to make critical pricing and timing decisions. Maklare AI was founded on the thesis that this opacity is not inevitable. The company developed proprietary AI infrastructure to structure previously siloed and unstructured demand data — extracting actionable signals from buyer behavior, preferences, and intent that have historically disappeared the moment a conversation ends.

Placing those capabilities inside Premarket — across its $4 billion in active New York City private inventory and thousands of active buyers — creates something that has not existed before in residential real estate: a forward-looking demand intelligence platform built on live, structured data from both sides of the private market.

“Real estate listing data is rapidly fragmenting,” said Brett Helberg, founder and CEO of Premarket. “Premarket exists to rebuild that shared infrastructure — but on better terms for every agent, brokerage, and their clients. Bringing Oliver and Maklare’s AI capabilities into Premarket means we can now do that for both supply and demand simultaneously. It’s a meaningful acceleration of everything we’re building.”

For Wenner, the move brings together parallel bodies of work on the same structural problem. “Real estate has always been a supply-side industry — the stock of available properties is generally known, tracked, and marketed,” said Wenner. “The demand side has operated in complete opacity. Agents know their own clients, but the market has no structured view of aggregate demand, directional intent, or forward-looking buyer signals. At Maklare, we built the AI infrastructure to change that. Inside Premarket, with real inventory and real buyers at scale, we can build the demand intelligence layer this market has never had.”

Premarket is currently live in New York City and expanding to additional markets. Integration of Maklare AI’s capabilities is underway across the platform’s agent subscriber base.

About Premarket

Premarket is the agent-only platform for private real estate listings, centralizing off-market and pre-market inventory across brokerages into a single, searchable network. Built as neutral infrastructure for the residential real estate market, Premarket gives agents access to listings and buyer demand before they reach the public markets. The company is based in New York City and is expanding nationally.
