Already much US IT work comes to India. Likely more will come, if our engineers are kept out. More important, now’s the time for our tech companies to transit from executing others’ projects to planning them, become IP hubs
Trump wants fewer Indian technology professionals moving to US. Maybe we should ask a different question: why should our best engineers have to move to US to do the world’s best work?
I have spent more than three decades in the technology industry. I have seen Indian IT grow, from having to explain why customers should trust Indian engineers, to an industry the world cannot imagine functioning without. So when I read about the latest US action restricting some large tech companies from using PERM, the process through which employers sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency, I looked beyond the headlines.
