    Is the H1B visa fees increase a boon to India ultimately

    The idiosyncrasies of US President Donald Trump has reached a new stage wherein he now announced an immediate increase of H1B visa fees by a hefty amount.

    The instant reaction and worry of everyone is that it will terribly affect the Indian employees, especially the software techs from India.
    It is true that the major portion of H1B visas are availed by persons from India.

    A hefty increase in the amount, annual fees and the immediate effective date all are going to have some very hard impact on the current emigrant employees in US under that category.

    However I am of the opinion that apart from the sudden impact, which also will affect many US corporate giants especially in the Software and hardware sector and even some high importance US sectors, in the long run I feel this is going to be a great opportunity for Indian techs.

    In the coming years there will be a very less interest of students and job seekers to emigrate to USA. Moreover Indian techies will be favoured in many other countries. More companies will start their establishments in India.

    What is your opinion?

    You are thinking that no country can do the work of a software engineer except the Indian population. If you feel those lines, I am sorry to say that you have no awareness of software; only reading Indian newspapers and listening to electronic media, you might think of those lines because you may have heard of the country, the Philippines. The peso value of the Philippines was 0.40 against the INR in 2011; now it is 1.54. Because lots of US and Western tech companies hire people and establish companies from there, because they speak English more fluently than Indians. One more thing, India is never good at hardware. As software projects are in saturation because of AI, Indians will soon be sent from the US and other countries. Your wish will be fulfilled in that way. To see fellow Indians in the home country.

    Phillipines is a BPO country and nothing more than that. They are way too dependent on USA for their livelihood and everyone knows USA is one of the most selfish nation in this world. Phillipines can keep doing their call center work by speaking good English and pretending to be Americans but it will not last long. India on the other hand is on the road to become a self reliant nation which will be painful to begin but will be fruitful in the long run.
    Humble yourself or life will do it for you!

    It's not a BPO; even in IT, they are being overtaken. A single BPO export cannot make the peso stronger than the INR. I am again reiterating one more time, currency power cannot be determined as simply as buying and selling. The mathematics behind the determinacy of currency power. The original wealth of the country + the gold reserves + the exports of the country + the flow of foreign currency of the country - the debts of the country - the imports of the country - the inflation; the rest are all negligible points in determining the currency power, like political stability and tariffs...

    No, that statement is incorrect; the BPO sector's growth doesn't exclusively determine the strength of the Philippine Peso (PHP) against the Indian Rupee (INR), as currency values are influenced by a wide array of economic factors beyond BPO exports, including overall economic health, trade balances, inflation, interest rates, foreign investment, and government policies in both countries. While BPO plays a role in the Philippines' economy by generating foreign exchange, it is not the sole determinant of the peso's value relative to the rupee. I am using the example of cheap labour in the Philippines The UK and the US, and most of the Western countries will not do these software jobs. these are bread and butter to them.

    There may be some impact on Software industry but it will be a boon to the Hardware and Chip Design Industry in India as chip fabrication units are being established here now. When I was working in an MNC long back, we used to do all the functionalities in chip design from VHDL coding, RTL verification, Validation on FPGA, Writing firmware for the bootcode and other functionalities, Writing Device Drivers for the chip, etc. from our Indian location. But for chip fabrication, we used to send it to Taiwan. Though the chip belonged to the MNC, Indians have acquired the talent of bringing out chips from the scratch.

    Though the new VISA rules are applicable to new applicants, it will definitely help India to retain some of the talented people leaving India. It will be very helpful for our chip design and hardware industry if our experienced designers don't leave our country or some of the designers return to our country at this juncture.

    The Philippines has significant exposure in semiconductors, with numerous semiconductor exports originating from the country. India do not have any hardware technology till date and it will not happen at any time.

    Indian Companies specialising in hardware technologies may not be famous but India has good pool of talent in Hardware Circuit design and Chip design. Since most Hardware circuit design and Chip design engineers are working for MNCs, most of the technological achievements go to those MNCs.

    The CEO of the largest company in the world, Nvidia, which produces different kinds of chips, says that one third of his company employees are Indians. That shows the talent of Indians in this field.

    Nvidia is in big trouble. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares slipped on Friday after reports surfaced that the company has halted work on its H20 artificial intelligence chip for China, just as domestic rival Deep Seek unveiled a new model optimized for local processors.

    The developments underscore mounting headwinds for Nvidia in a critical market where Beijing is accelerating efforts to reduce reliance on U.S. technology.

    So, what? That is part of competition. Here, we are talking about Indian talent in hardware.

    No Indian Talent, nothing. One thing I didn't understand is that the whole argument is that Indians are fools or ignorant, they have a talent that cannot be exhibited here, or the other countries are fools, they are telling them to get out of their countries because Indians do not have shame they still stay there.

    I think you don't have any points to argue further in this regard. Let us put a full stop.

    If Indians stop going to the USA or other countries, companies will start coming to our country, as they will not get the required manpower in their countries. That will be good for the country. Job opportunities will increase in our country. It is beneficial for the country. So I agree with what the author opined in this thread. Whatever happens, it will be for the benefit of our nation only. Why should we always say that we are worthless?

    #783380 India will be one of the poorest countries in the world, and add to that more unemployment like before 1998 .My sister's law works at Nvidia only. Recently, he joined Nvidia. He travelled to Dubai for family trip, and now he is going to Singapore. Whenever family functions are there he used to stay for a long time with the family,

    I am not able to understand the relevance of the topic of the thread and the write-up in this particular reply. I request the author to elaborate on how the trip of a family to other countries explains the financial position of a country.

    #783393 says that one third of his company employees are Indians. That shows the talent of Indians in this field. If there are employees, so what? That is why I wrote an example of that. that is connected to this thread Are Indians really workaholics?
