           Strategy and economic cooperation apart, sustainable development, submarines, students and sport can fire up Indo-German ties, said Philipp Ackermann, Berlin’s ambassador to New Delhi. Yes, Modi and Merkel got on well. Now, ace Indian students can aim for Heidelberg and Gottingen

             Today's tool of diplomacy: cow dung! 🐮 Wait, let me explain: The German Development Bank @KfW_FZ_int supports women in Andhra Pradesh to use the natural farming methods to fertilize soil and help plant health. Very impressive to see what cow dung and urine can be used for. 🤯

             We want to convince qualified Indians to come to work and study in Germany. Germans have very positive associations with the Indian diaspora and we want to continue this success story. 🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪 Pleasure to be on this panel at the @ndtv World Summit with @Lindy_Cameron.

             Indian students can have a great experience in Germany. How to find the best university for you: 1⃣ Don't trust your agent, do your own research 2⃣ Doublecheck your agent's suggested university 3⃣ Repeat step 1 & 2 My recommendations in detail:  https://t.co/Fl4VeE9Nn6

              In an exclusive interaction with ThePrint, Ackermann warned that agents ‘have their own agenda’ & also ‘tune’ applications in a certain way to make applicants seem more genuine.

             Durga Puja is among my favourite Indian festivals, streets full of pandals and lights 🪔. The imagery, the colours, the atmosphere – it’s just something else you have to witness with your own eyes, ideally in Kolkata! Wishing everyone a blessed Durga Puja & Navami 🙏🏻✨!

             Before 1962, translations from Indian languages were rare in Germany—until Heidelberg’s South Asia Institute. From Lutze’s Hindi poetry to Dasgupta’s Bengali–German bridges, translations shape our worldview & bring 🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪 even closer. Happy #TranslationDay! 🌏📚✨

             BMW is one of Germany's global brands - and, fun fact, a piece of home for me. Did you know that the "B" stands for Bavaria, my home state? Great to talk with BMW's CEO, Oliver Zipse, about BWM's focus on electric mobility and the dynamic Indian market. @bmwindia
