E-residency, education, e-governance drives India-Estonia ties

India has announced the opening of an Embassy in Tallinn, capital of Estonia, by year-end and there are number of reasons why New Delhi has decided to do so as part of its efforts to enhance diplomatic presence in Europe including Baltics.

Estonia and India are currently non-permanent members of the UN Security Council and have indicated areas of mutual cooperation. Besides there is increasing interest from Estonian entrepreneurs towards the Indian market.

Estonian e-residency program continues to be popular among Indian people as it enables establishing and managing an EU company fully remotely which is very practical during the ongoing pandemic.
