How to start a business in the UK: A guide for overseas citizens

Building on the UK’s regional and national strengths, UKTIN’s Clusters Programme has been designed to ensure the UK can benefit from a thriving and resilient telecoms sector. In a recent meeting, Poonam Parihar, founder of bandarlog.dev shared her insights into establishing a tech start-up as a non-UK-national. Please introduce yourself and your business. I have been working in the telecoms industry for over two decades, mostly based in the US, and focusing on network technologies.

TRANSFORMING TELECOMS: Making telecoms smarter, faster, and simpler

Poonam Parihar is an experienced tech industry professional and founder of bandarlog.dev, a deep-tech start-up working to transform telecoms through AI and build digital network automation solutions to help SMEs in other sectors adopt next-generation technologies more quickly. She studied Information Technology and has worked in the tech industry for over 20 years in software development and sales engineering for Cisco, AT&T, and Keysight. She has previously participated in the UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) support for early-stage companies, which is delivered by the University of Bristol alongside SETsquared. How did you find the UKTIN innovation and investment support, and what value did you get from it? I moved to the UK in late 2020 to be with my family, and I had a plan for a start-up. It took me about a year to figure out the technology landscape, how it was evolving, the business opportunities available, and the financial, investor, and business support I’d need to launch my start-up.
