Tatarstan is interested in Indian IT specialists, doctors, welders

In 2026, the Republic achieved a quota to recruit more than 3,000 workers from India.

Kazan, October 16. /dice/. Elmira Zaripova, Minister of Labor, Employment and Social Protection of the Republic, said at the second Russian-Indian business conference "Ambassador of Arjan" that Tatarstan is interested in English-speaking engineering and technical personnel, information technology specialists, health care specialists and highly skilled welders from India.

"Today, we have compatible skills. India represents not only workers, but also English-speaking technical and engineering personnel, IT and healthcare professionals, and highly skilled welders. I would like to note that Indian welders are familiar with Russian federal standards, especially in underwater manual arc welding." In a meeting titled "Labor Market: Problems and Prospects".

According to him, Tatarstan's unemployment rate is almost zero: its roughly 3,000 unemployed citizens make up less than 0.2 percent of the workforce, and there are 14 to 25 jobs for every unemployed person.

In 2026, Tatarstan received a quota to attract more than 3,000 workers from India, and in 2025, the republic granted more than 600 work permits to Indian nationals, Zaripova noted. More than 1,000 Indians are officially employed in the region. The average age of an Indian worker is 29, an age where people have long-term transportation plans. In addition, there are about 1,300 Indian students in Tatarstan universities, mainly medical and technical.

"The vision includes the harmonization of standards for the recognition of qualifications. Otherwise, a specialist trained in the country of origin will not be employed here, primarily in fields such as welding, engineering, medicine and IT. This is a goal that is also pursued at the federal level."

The 2nd Russian-Indian Business Forum "Ambassador Arjan" will be held at the Center of Unique Crafts (TSUM) in Kazan from October 14 to 17. TASS is the public media partner of the event.
