Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown is redrawing the global talent map: Here’s why India is winning
Stricter H-1B and L-1 visa rules under US President Donald Trump are pushing American companies to shift operations to India, which now hosts over 1,800 Global Capability Centres (GCCs). These hubs are driving innovation across sectors like AI and cybersecurity. With visa costs rising to $100,000 and new restrictions looming, firms are investing in India-based centres for cost-effective talent. India’s IT sector continues to grow, projecting $100 billion in GCC revenue by 2030.
