Russia is set to employ nearly one million Indians as it faces a severe industrial workforce shortage. According to Indian Ambassador Vinay Kumar, Russian firms in construction, machinery, electronics, and textiles are actively hiring Indians, with Sverdlovsk emerging as a major destination. The Indian Embassy in Moscow is expanding services, including opening a new consulate in Yekaterinburg. Russia anticipates a 3.1 million worker deficit by 2030 and may increase foreign worker quotas by 1.5 times in 2025. Multiple visa pathways exist, though the Embassy has cautioned applicants against fraudulent offers. (PC: Business Standard)
