For how long are you going to be away for work? Is this going to be more than 180 days or in anyway break your ILR continuity ?

Read,
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... eriods.pdf

--> See pg28, for reference of Exceptional cases, quote below,

Absences of more than 180 days in any 12 month period for employment or economic
activity reasons are not considered exceptional.

That said, there have been specific cases with extended time spent outside UK for work purpose have been granted ILR, spend some time in the ILR forum in this board, and you will get an idea.

Cheers,

No chance, as sole director and sole employee you're sending yourself to India, your choice.

The person in the above post had 320 days continuous absence as a director of a limited company and still managed to get his ILR.
So as long as you don't take time off that will break your ILR continuity, you should be fine.
