The Baden-Württemberg Cooperation Office in Pune ends Its Activities

The existing contract between the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart, and Let’s Bridge IT Pvt Ltd (LBIT) regarding the operation of a cooperation office, including a service desk for skilled worker recruitment in Pune, Maharashtra, will expire at the end of 2025. The Managing Partner of LBIT, Iris Becker, will then also no longer serve as the Representative of Baden-Württemberg in Maharashtra.

Since its opening in 2017, Baden-Württemberg and its state office in Pune have built a close partnership with the Indian state of Maharashtra. The focus areas have included business, research, education, and culture. With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in skilled migration and vocational education with the Government of Maharashtra in February 2024, a new area of collaboration was added.
Iris Becker and her team would like to thank the responsible departments of the State Ministry for the very pleasant, constructive, and success-oriented cooperation over the past eight years and are proud of what has been achieved together.

Let’s Bridge IT and its partners will continue to promote German-Indian cooperation from their offices in Freiburg and Pune, with a strong focus on industrial investment in India and Germany, consulting on skilled worker/apprentice placement, and intercultural consulting.

Das Kooperationsbüro von Baden-Württemberg in Pune beendet seine Tätigkeit

Der bestehende Vertrag zwischen dem Staatsministerium Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart und Let’s Bridge IT Pvt Ltd (LBIT) über den Betrieb eines Kooperationsbüros einschließlich eines Service Desks für Fachkräftegewinnung in Pune, Maharashtra läuft Ende 2025 aus. Die Geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin von LBIT, Iris Becker, wird dann auch nicht mehr als Repräsentantin von Baden-Württemberg in Maharashtra tätig sein.

Baden-Württemberg und sein Landesbüro in Pune haben seit seiner Eröffnung in 2017 eine enge Partnerschaft mit dem indischen Bundesstaat Maharashtra aufgebaut. Die Schwerpunkte lagen auf Wirtschaft, Forschung sowie Bildung und Kultur. Mit der gemeinsam mit der Regierung von Maharashtra unterzeichneten Absichtserklärung zur Zusammenarbeit in der Fachkräftemigration und beruflichen Bildung im Februar 2024 kam ein neuer Schwerpunkt hinzu. Iris Becker und ihr Team bedanken sich bei den zuständigen Stellen des Staatsministeriums für die sehr angenehme, konstruktive und erfolgsorientierte Zusammenarbeit in den vergangenen 8 Jahren und sind stolz auf das gemeinsame Erreichte.

Let’s bridge IT und seine Partner werden sich von den Standorten Freiburg und Pune aus weiterhin für deutsch-indische Zusammenarbeit engagieren und intensiv in den Bereichen Industrieansiedlung in Indien und Deutschland, Fachkräftevermittlung sowie interkultureller Beratung tätig sein.
