Description

On September 19, President Donald Trump shook the tech world by introducing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions for foreign workers. While the move seems aimed at curbing outsourcing and protecting American jobs, its consequences for India may be unexpectedly positive. With fewer engineers moving to the US, multinationals could expand global capability centers in India, retain talent locally, and create new high-value opportunities beyond coding and entry-level roles. Could Trump’s H-1B “bomb” actually accelerate India’s rise as a global tech hub? Join Debashis Basu as he unpacks the short-term disruptions and potential long-term gains of this controversial policy.
