US H-1B Visa Changes Impact Indian Tech Talent

US H-1B Visa Changes Impact Indian Tech Talent

Many Indian students and tech workers have traditionally gone to the US for education and jobs.

Recently, the US has made it harder to get special work visas like the H-1B.

Some people thought this would mean fewer Indians would go to the US.

But actually, the number of Indian students in the US went up by 10% in 2025.

At the same time, the best and brightest Indian graduates are looking at other countries, like Japan and Singapore, and even considering staying in India.

India's tech industry is growing, with new companies and a big investment in AI.

Some Indian Americans are also thinking about moving back to India to start businesses.

So while the US is still important, India is becoming a more attractive place for top talent.

The US is changing how it gives out H-1B visas, which might make it harder for smaller companies to hire Indian workers.
