CEO Rajesh Gopinath's remarks were among the strongest public rebukes from India’s $181 billion IT industry since Donald Trump’s decree to halt approvals for visas.
Infosys brought back employees whose work visas had expired or were awaiting renewal amid concerns that the US might not renew them after the H-1B visa freeze.
About 375,000 temporary visa-holders & Green Card applicants are banned from entering US until next year. A significant number of those are now stuck in India.
Outsourcing companies are dealing with the unpredictability of the visa situation and the prospect that a H-1B revamp could severely limit sending talent overseas.
If the US doesn’t attract founders for the next Google or Databricks as the preeminent land of opportunity, it will only embolden its biggest rivals like China and Europe.
One change Donald Trump maybe considering is to restrict people from entering the US on visa categories including the H-1B program for as long as 180 days.
Tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs in the last two months, but workers on H-1B visas are vulnerable in ways native-born workers aren’t.
The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act is set to sail through the 435-member House of Representatives Tuesday and is being supported by more than 310 lawmakers.
December oil imports from Russia may drop nearly 50%, but Indian buyers already shifting to non-designated Russian entities and opaque trading channels to keep Russian oil flowing.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
India is a dalla economy. Nobody wants to work because workers are taxed to death. Everybody wants to acquire properties because there is hardly any tax on it.
All taxes on labour are mere subsidy for property taxes. Unless india abolishes all taxes on labour it will remain a dalla economy.
Indian IT companies like TCS need a strong kick from waking up from the lethargy they have acquired over the last two decades.
If Indians feel proud of not to buy Chinese goods, Americans would be happy to pay a little cost of reclaiming the jobs lost to TCS and others. TCS, Infosys and other Indian IT companies are mere labour suppliers to US IT market. Shamelessly Indian IT companies want to remain slave of US market. They can give fat returns to investors but hesitate to invest in R&D and product development. Chinese whom these Indian companies consider inferior programmers could flood the mobile apps market but these slave Indian companies are afraid of investing in Apps market.
