Germany faces a severe labour crisis and is turning to Indian students to address critical gaps. With around 43,000 Indian students in German universities, the country recently introduced a law doubling their work time to 20 hours per week. Facing a shortage of 7 million skilled workers by 2035, Germany aims to attract Indian graduates and build a talent pipeline. Indian students, known for their engineering skills, are in high demand in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, IT, and engineering.
