Germany Launches Strategy to Recruit Skilled Workers from India

The German government has approved a comprehensive plan to attract Indian professionals and address the country's labor shortages.

Germany's new strategy includes over 30 measures aimed at easing the immigration process for Indian skilled workers.
The initiative focuses on digitalizing visa procedures, reducing bureaucratic barriers, and offering German language courses in India.
Currently, 137,000 Indians are employed in Germany, primarily in the service sector, with a notably lower unemployment rate than the general population.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and key ministers will visit India to promote the strategy and strengthen bilateral economic ties.
The plan seeks to counteract Germany's aging workforce and fill critical gaps in sectors like IT, leveraging India's young and educated labor pool.
