India Advances Trade Agreements to Boost Exports and Skilled Talent Mobility

India has recently expanded its global trade agreements, concluding pacts with the UK (July 2025) and the EU (January 2026), alongside active partnerships with the UAE, Japan, Singapore, and Australia. These agreements aim to boost exports, enhance India's role in global trade, and facilitate structured mobility for skilled Indian professionals, particularly in IT and corporate sectors. The EU pact offers significant student and skilled worker mobility benefits, while India's trade strategy reflects a shift toward deeper integration with advanced economies and global value chains.
