Suryaa Pawar (MD ICUnet India): "Germany needs skilled manpower from India. We are the main hub which will help build the strategy in the global talent hunt.".

Indian Professionals as the Key to Closing Germany’s Skills Gap?

India plays a central role in the global talent market. This is confirmed by Suryaa Pawar, our Managing Director India.

Her conclusion: India has highly skilled talent, Germany has the demand – the time for a sustainable strategy is now.

Indian professionals are already a vital part of the German labor market – and their importance continues to grow:

  • 138,000 Indian professionals are already working in Germany – and the number is rising! (Source: iwkoeln)

  • Without immigration from India, Germany’s skills gap would be 20% larger. (Source: iwkoeln)

  • The German government is focusing on a targeted "India Skilled Workforce Strategy" to further promote recruitment and integration. (Source: BMAS)

  • The number of Indian professionals immigrating via the "EU Blue Card" increased by 80% between 2012 and 2014. (Source: Bertelsmann-Stiftung)

Collaboration between India and Germany not only helps address the skills shortage but also holds enormous potential for sustainable innovation and economic growth.

Are we ready to seize the opportunities of international cooperation and set the course for a strong, globally connected #economy?
