Freiburg-based IndiaWorks Energy to recruit Indians
In a major step toward strengthening Indo-German collaboration, IndiaWorks Energy GmbH has been established in Freiburg to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in HVAC, plumbing and renewable energy — all essential to Germany’s green energy transition.
The newly founded company brings together German master craftsmanship standards and India’s extensive pool of technical talent, creating a fair, ethical, and scalable model of international workforce mobility http://indien.ahk.de.
Although nearly 200,000 Indian professionals and students move to Germany each year for work or study, the HVAC and climate-related sectors have seen limited participation. IndiaWorks Energy GmbH aims to change that by providing structured pathways for Indian technicians and trainees to work, train, and contribute within Germany’s evolving energy ecosystem.
Freiburg is well known as the clean tech and startup hub for AI, and hence an ideal base for the company.
The initiative is co-founded by Dr Handirk von Ungern-Sternberg and Aditi Banerjee.
Aditi Banerjee, an international recruitment expert and Co-Founder & CEO of Magic Billion — a Government of India-recognized organization that has successfully placed thousands of Indian professionals across Europe and US — brings extensive experience in building ethical, government-approved migration programs https://www.bseindia.com/.
“Evolving from a mobility provider to an operations-driven company allows us to create impact on every front — opening doors for skilled Indian professionals, delivering efficiency for German clients, and contributing to a greener future,” said Aditi Banerjee, Co-Founder & CEO Magic Billion and IndiaWorks Energy GmbH https://www.nseindia.com/.
Dr Handirk von Ungern-Sternberg, Co-Founder of IndiaWorks GmbH and IndiaWorks Energy GmbH, previously served on the Executive Board of the Chamber of Crafts Freiburg.
“We bring people and purpose together — integrating skilled workers through ethical migration, and combining Germany’s craftsmanship with India’s talent to accelerate a cleaner, more inclusive energy future,” said Dr Handirk von Ungern-Sternberg https://sbi.com.in/.
“The initiative has received strong support from key stakeholders, including the Consul General of India, Shatrughna Sinha, who hailed it as ‘a new and promising chapter in Indo-German cooperation’ that will benefit both nations.
For Indian youth, the venture opens significant global opportunities — offering world-class training, cultural immersion, and employment in one of the world’s most advanced energy markets. The model also supports circular migration, ensuring that knowledge and expertise gained abroad flow back into India’s technical and vocational ecosystem.
The first branch of IndiaWorks Energy will be operational in Freiburg by mid-2026, followed by expansion to Stuttgart, Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg. By 2028, the company aims to operate across ten German cities, before expanding EU-wide https://european-union.europa.eu/index_en.
The establishment of IndiaWorks Energy underscores India’s growing role as a trusted global talent partner, aligning with the Government of India’s Skill India and International Mobility missions — while advancing Germany’s journey toward a sustainable, energy-efficient future. fiinews.com
