<== sorry confused at your 2 different statements

are you coming to the UK visa your existing company or using the existing company's WP without their knowledge to travel to the UK and find a new job ?

i came to UK on a workpermit through my existing company in India only
(ofcourse with their knowledge).Best word to use is "deputation for some period"

Now i interested to switch on to new employer here in UK ( through transfer of workpermit)

Tried applying for various jobs in IT, my core field but all companies/consultants are reluctant to offer me a job due to my current status. they are looking for a UK citizen or a PR inspite of fulfilling there job requirements.
Can anyone advice me how to go about this !!!

through transfer of workpermit <== there is no such thing as workpermit transfer in the UK...

If you switch employers then the new employer has to sponsor your wp, which unfortunately nobody is ready to do nowadays..
