H-1B Visa Power
Financial Express Kolkata|December 31, 2024

MINENT JOURNALIST AND former Union minister Arun Shourie had suggested, while serving in the then Vajpayee-led-National Democratic Alliance government, India's information technology (IT) sector should work to make the US industry champion its cause, since it was the biggest beneficiary. Going by the turn that the current controversy over H-1B visas in the US has taken, it would not be wrong to conclude that India's software services sector has succeeded in achieving what Shourie suggested.

The latest controversy, fueled by the appointment of Indian-origin venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as artificial intelligence policy advisor in Donald Trump's incoming administration, highlights the nuanced interplay of talent mobility, economic growth, and political ideology.
