India is recognized as one of the world's largest exporters of labor, with tens of millions of workers employed overseas across various sectors.
India continues to hold its position as a principal source of overseas labor, with tens of millions of its citizens working abroad in diverse industries ranging from healthcare to technology and construction. This extensive labor export contributes significantly to India’s economy via remittances and also impacts the labor markets of host countries including Greece. Official data from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs highlights the government’s ongoing efforts to secure worker rights and facilitate safe migration through bilateral agreements and labor pacts with target countries. Greece, among others, has been part of these dialogues aiming to regulate and enhance employment opportunities for Indian overseas workers. Such agreements are designed to protect migrant workers from exploitation and provide a structured framework for employment. While official statements emphasize the benefits of these labor flows, reports have occasionally surfaced mentioning challenges faced by workers abroad, including issues related to working conditions and legal protections. The Indian embassy and relevant authorities continue monitoring and addressing such concerns to promote the welfare of their citizens overseas.
