Yes, it happens — but mostly for people with in-demand, provable skills: software, healthcare, engineering, skilled trades. Employers abroad sponsor from India when the skill gap justifies the cost and paperwork. It is much harder for generic profiles, and that is where scams thrive: anyone asking you to pay for a job offer or visa sponsorship is running a scam. Realistic paths: direct applications to sponsors, internal transfers at multinationals, or points-based routes like Canada's that need no offer at all.
