The medal was presented at a formal investiture ceremony at the British High Commissioner’s residence in New Delhi, attended by his family and close associates. The honorary knighthood was announced in 2024 with the approval of King Charles III.
Lindy Cameron, British High Commissioner to India, who conferred the honour, said, “I was delighted to present Sunil Bharti Mittal the KBE medal on behalf of His Majesty the King. Mr Mittal is a great friend of the UK – with significant investments, including BT, Gleneagles, Norlake Hospitality, and OneWeb.”
She also noted his leadership in strengthening business ties, particularly through the India-UK CEO Forum, and his recent visit to the UK, where he led a senior Indian business delegation to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other key officials to explore economic opportunities.
Receiving the honour, Mittal stated, “It is an honour to have received the KBE from His Majesty, King Charles III. As India and the United Kingdom continue to chart remarkable scale in our bilateral relations, I acknowledge this recognition both as a privilege and a responsibility.”
Mittal reaffirmed his commitment to fostering stronger economic relations between the two countries and expressed appreciation for the support he has received throughout his career.
