As the UK, US, and Canada become less accessible, Russia is emerging as a major destination for Indian workers. With a projected labour shortage of 3.1 million by 2030, Russian companies are actively hiring Indians across construction, electronics, and machinery sectors.

The Indian embassy has also issued visa fraud warnings, as demand continues to grow and the Indian community in Russia expands steadily.
