Bharat Joshi is the new British Deputy High Commissioner to be based in Chennai, replacing Mike Nithavrianakis.
"It is a huge honour to represent the UK in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala.. And returning to my country of origin at a time when the UK's relations with India are growing at a faster pace than ever before - evidenced by growing trade, the opening of new UK offices across India and regular high-level visits in both directions - is a dream come true," Joshi was quoted as saying in an official release.
