In a video message shared on X (formerly Twitter), Philipp Ackermann, the German Ambassador to India and Bhutan, said that Indians are not just getting jobs in Germany but are also doing very well in them.
“This is a good moment to talk about Indians working in Germany,” he began, adding that he said “Indians are amongst the top earners in Germany.”

‘Indians earn more than Germans,’ says German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann
In what might come as a surprise to many, Ackermann revealed that on average, Indians working in Germany earn more than their German counterparts. “The average Indian working in Germany earns more than the average German working in Germany. And that’s pretty good news,” he said.
The Ambassador explained that this reflects not just higher salaries but also the significant role Indian professionals play in Germany’s growth. “A high salary means that Indians are contributing big time to our society and our welfare,” he noted.
Germany’s migration policy: ‘Predictable and reliable’
Germany, often seen as Europe’s economic powerhouse, has designed its migration system to be clear and dependable. Using a metaphor that reflects his country’s engineering pride, Ackermann said: “Our migration policy works a bit like a German car. It’s reliable, it is modern, it is predictable. It will go in a straight line with no zigzags. And you don’t have to fear a full break at a top speed.”
He stressed that rules in Germany don’t change overnight, giving professionals from abroad the confidence to build a long-term career there. “We do not change our rules fundamentally overnight. Highly skilled Indians are welcome in Germany,” he assured.
With demand growing in IT, management, science and technology, Germany sees India as a key partner in filling its skilled workforce gap. Ackermann invited Indians to explore the opportunities waiting for them: “If you want to find out what Germany has to offer, click on the link tree below.
