Following the U.S. administration’s announcement of a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, several global corporations are reassessing their international hiring policies. Among them, Walmart has reportedly paused job offers to H-1B candidates , a move that could affect thousands of skilled professionals.
What This Means for Indian Talent
For decades, Indian engineers and tech experts have powered global innovation. The increased visa cost may push companies to hire local U.S. residents or expand their operations in India, benefiting the domestic job market.
A New Opportunity for India
This shift opens the door for reverse brain gain, where Indian professionals may choose to work remotely or relocate to India with global employers.
It also strengthens India’s appeal as a cost-efficient innovation hub.
