Europe’s India Hiring: New Office Aims to Fast-Track Tech Talent
In a landmark move, India and the European Union have strengthened their partnership with the signing of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). As part of this agreement, the EU will establish its first Legal Gateway Office in India, functioning as a hub to support Indian talent seeking employment in Europe, particularly in sectors facing labor shortages. This initiative is expected to facilitate the migration of skilled professionals and streamline access to work permits, aligning with EU member states’ needs. The FTA also promises significant tariff reductions on EU goods exports to India and improved access for EU firms to key Indian service sectors, aiming to double EU exports to India by 2032.
