Apna has established partnerships with government-approved agencies, such as Magic Billions, Salesman Corporation Pvt Ltd & others, to facilitate the hiring of Indian candidates for international positions. International opportunities are available for candidates with a minimum educational qualification of a graduate degree, ITI certification, or a specialized diploma.

Apna said the global demand for the Indian workforce is witnessing a remarkable rise in recent years, owing to their exceptional skill sets, qualities, and capabilities. Global companies have been leveraging the quality and skill of Indian talents for a long time now. “What sets Indian professionals apart from their counterparts worldwide is their hardworking nature, adaptability, and, most importantly, cost-effectiveness,” said the company.
India has a vast pool of talent and a yearly influx of highly-skilled individuals. These factors make India well-positioned to become the world's talent hub. Apna’s platform has 40 million users and has recorded more than 4.5 million job postings since its inception.
