As part of this collaboration, more than 1,500 Indian students stranded in Kyrgyzstan and hundreds of Indian nationals stuck in Russia, Uzbekistan, Manila, Almaty among other countries were repatriated to India.

Sonu Sood also used his job portal and mobile app to help skilled and unskilled workers find jobs.
