India is uniquely positioned to fill the growing global skill shortage, with demand soaring in countries like Russia, Japan, Israel, and beyond, as the world faces a projected talent shortfall of over 85 million by 2030.
Russian companies in the machinery and electronics sectors are interested in hiring skilled Indian professionals to address the labour shortage. India's Ambassador to Russia, Vinay Kumar, told Russian state news agency TASS that the demand for Indian workers was expanding beyond traditional sectors.
"At a broader level, there is a manpower requirement in Russia, and India has a skilled manpower. So at present, within the framework of Russian regulations, laws and quotas, the companies are hiring Indians," Kumar said. He pointed out that many Indians working in Russia so far have been employed in construction and textiles, but interest in hiring them for machinery and electronics roles has been steadily rising.
The report highlights India's potential to act as a bridge to meet global skill needs as nations confront rising demand for skilled workers and the broader talent shortfall projected by 2030.
