Mumbai-based workforce mobility platform BorderPlus has acquired German healthcare recruitment firm Onea Care to enhance job opportunities for Indian nurse professionals in Germany. While the financial details remain undisclosed, this strategic move aims to establish a clear, structured pathway for Indian healthcare professionals seeking international careers.
With a $10 million investment in mergers and acquisitions, BorderPlus is expanding its presence in India, Germany, and key global markets. The company is set to introduce digital-first hiring solutions, improve language training, and ensure seamless workforce integration for healthcare professionals.
“This acquisition is a major step toward ensuring that Indian nurses and healthcare professionals have access to structured, fair, and high-quality job opportunities in Germany. We will continue to explore such opportunities across key markets to expand our presence and support Indian skilled healthcare talent to explore global career prospects,” BorderPlus co-founders Ayush Mathur and Mayank Kumar said in the statement.
Germany faces a critical nursing shortage, with an estimated 150,000 additional nurses needed by 2025. To meet this demand, the country plans to recruit 500,000 nurses by 2030 through ethical, structured migration programs. India, known for its highly skilled nurses, is well-positioned to bridge this gap and benefit from growing international healthcare opportunities.
“Such an approach is a critical part of our growth strategy, allowing for a transparent and trustworthy route for Indian nurses to get recruitment opportunities. This will help remove the adverse conditions they fall in via illegal recruitment traps. Ethical recruitment and quality training are at the core of our mission, and we are doubling down on our commitment to transform global workforce mobility,” they added.
“BorderPlus shares our deep commitment to quality and fairness in healthcare recruitment. I believe this acquisition will be a game-changer in addressing workforce shortages while upholding the highest ethical and quality standards,” said Leon Bauer, founder of Onea Care.
