In this week’s episode we hear from Abhi Nag Balasubramanya, a former Northvolt worker who successfully launched a microgreens company in Skellefteå whose products have been enthusiastically received locally.

But his future in Sweden is in serious doubt after he got a letter from the Migration Agency warning him that he wasn’t eligible for a residency permit.

The Local’s Nordic editor Richard Orange caught up with Balasubramanya recently to hear more about how he ended up in Sweden, why he set up a business here, and how he’s responding to a letter that threatens to bring his stay in Sweden to a premature close.
