Pune: Millions of Indian students and employees dream of getting a job opportunity in America after studying in engineering and technology. But now that US President-elect Donald Trump is in power, there is a debate at various levels about whether Indian employees will get a chance to work in the US.
However, experts say that by strengthening India-US ties, those who dream of working in the US are likely to have better days and boost US investment in India.
Graduates with B.E. and B.Tech degrees, as well as employees of various Information Technology companies, are waiting for job opportunities in the United States.
Meanwhile, the re-election of Trump as the President of the United States has raised the eyebrows of Indians looking for job opportunities in the US.
Either way, trump's 'America First' policy has raised many questions about whether Indians will continue to get jobs in the US and opportunities for Indian companies to manufacture software from the US. However, good india-US political relations will boost these opportunities in the future, the experts said.
H-1B visas are issued to those working in the US. According to data released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Indian nationals account for 72.3 per cent of the h-1B visas issued by the US in the financial year 2023.
Indians are being given the most job opportunities in the US and this opportunity will increase further, say researchers.
The political relations between India and the US are good. Us President-elect Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi share a friendly relationship. This will have a positive impact on Indians who are employed and willing to go to the US.
Despite the notion of 'America first', Trump will make friendly decisions about Indians when making policy decisions. So, there are signs that india's information technology sector is going to have good days. It is also expected that us investment in India in manufacturing, semiconductor and quantum computing will also increase, said Dr. Mukul Sutwane, Director, Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Allahabad
Although Donald Trump has been elected president of the United States, it is difficult to predict his upcoming policies right now. However, given the political relations between India and the US, the US has always expected India's support.
Trump's stance on Indians in India and the US will be one of cooperation in taking policy steps going forward. It seems that it will also be reflected positively in the information technology sector. It is expected that more Indians who want to work in the US will get visas and investment in business will increase, said Vidyadhar Purandare, Secretary, Software Exports Association of Pune.
