New Delhi sources have stated that more than 500,000 skilled Indian workers might have to come back from the U.S. if a proposal by the Trump administration not to extend H-1B visa of those waiting for permanent residency (Green Card) is implemented. Meanwhile India is already passing through a jobs crisis.
While it will be a big loss for individuals, it
could be a huge gain for the country just when India's new age
enterprise is taking off as innovative startups mushroom in all big cities and
the government is currently keen to make doing business easier, the return of
such a large number of Indian tech workers can give a big push to Indian
business.
Furthermore most of these workers are the brightest Indians who have passed out of elite Indian institutions. While Indians are proud of Sundar Pichai who heads Google and Satya Nadella who heads Microsoft, they are still American success stories.
