Global Skills Mobility Association of India
Connecting Skills,
Creating Global Opportunities.
Building a Viksit Bharat.
India is fast becoming the world's largest supplier of skilled and semi-skilled talent. Recruiters, employers, training providers, assessment bodies, governments and international organisations are all racing to keep up, but they're doing it in silos.
Led by Industry,
Built on Trust
India's first industry-led association dedicated exclusively to global skills mobility.
A not-for-profit, Section 8 company founded by 20 leading organisations across the sector. We're a neutral table where recruiters, employers, trainers, assessors, governments and international bodies come together to build the standards, data and trust the ecosystem has been missing.
India is entering a defining phase on its journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047. As ageing economies face growing workforce shortages, India is uniquely positioned to meet global demand for skilled talent.
The foundations are already being built-from mobility partnerships and international skilling to digital credentials and new policy frameworks. What's missing is a coordinated ecosystem to turn these efforts into trusted, scalable pathways for global skills mobility.

“Building trust. Connecting talent. Enabling global mobility.”
A more trusted, connected and globally competitive Indian skills mobility ecosystem — where employers can access credible talent, workers can access safer and higher-quality opportunities, industry can grow responsibly, and governments can engage with a coordinated, informed sector.
Five mandates, one goal: make India the world's most trusted source of talent.
GSMAI's table has room for everyone with a stake in getting this right.
Legacy Organisations
Established players with deep industry experience and institutional credibility.
Emerging Organisations

Individual Members

A single, authoritative, trusted voice for global skills mobility.
India already has strong, generalist industry chambers. GSMAI isn't here to compete with them — it exists to do for global skills mobility what focused, sector-specific bodies have done for other industries: give one of India's fastest-growing sectors a single, authoritative, trusted voice.
