Indians in Poland

[7] Most of them are businessmen [citation needed] who migrated to Poland to take advantage of the economic boom after Warsaw opted for a free-market economy in 1989 and joined the European Union in 2004.

In 2007, Poland signed an agreement with India to admit more Indian migrant workers as part of an effort to ameliorate labour shortages caused by the outward migration of hundreds of thousands of Polish workers to wealthier countries in the European Union.

[citation needed] The Indian community in Poland is primarily composed of Hindus and Sikhs.

Hinduism began to spread in the country through the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) missionaries starting in 1976.

There are about 120 Sikh families in Warsaw headed by J J Singh, the most prominent Indian, who is also the president of Indo Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industries.
