The increasing number of Indian immigrants in Berlin: reasons and perspectives

The Indian population in Berlin grows and grows. According to the Office for Statistics, 8,000 Indian immigrants moved to the capital last year - a significant increase compared to the 2000 to 3000 per year in previous years. Throughout Germany, there is also an increase in Indian immigrants who are now forming the second largest group of foreign students in Germany. The employment rate among Indian citizens is high and is over 75 percent in Berlin.

An example of a successful Indian immigrant is Amit P., who has lived in Berlin for over 35 years. He is the head of IT management of the catering company "Pace" and emphasizes that Berlin offers many jobs in the IT area with its start-up scene. In addition, the language barrier does not matter, since English is spoken almost everywhere in Berlin. Amit P. also gives financial reasons because Indians earn much more in Germany. Other reasons for immigration are better opportunities for advancements and travel advantages within the EU.

The Federal Government only signed a migration and mobility agreement with India in December to attract specialists to Germany. Amit P. is convinced that even more Indians will come to Berlin and Germany in the future. The Indian community will continue to grow and strengthen its presence in the capital.

Overall, more and more people from India are moving to Berlin to study and work here. The city offers attractive professional opportunities, especially in the IT area, and good opportunities for advancement. The existing Indian community in Berlin has a positive impact on the integration of new immigrants. Due to the federal government's migration and mobility agreements, the influx of Indian specialists will continue to increase in the future.
