The chairperson of NASSCOM, Srikanth Velamakanni, recently addressed concerns regarding US Green Card suspensions and their impact on the Indian information technology sector. According to Velamakanni, the current restrictions are not expected to cause significant disruption to Indian IT companies in the short or medium term.

Instead of viewing the policy as a purely negative development, Velamakanni framed the situation as a potential catalyst for structural change within the industry. He argued that such immigration hurdles might encourage a strategic shift, where both capital and high-level talent remain in or relocate to India. By positioning India as a primary 'talent base,' the NASSCOM leadership suggests that the industry may adapt to US policy changes by strengthening its domestic operations rather than relying solely on overseas deployment. While the US policy aims to regulate immigration, the NASSCOM perspective highlights a potential unintended consequence: the acceleration of India's role as a global hub for IT work and expertise.
