India cities ready for H-1B program overhaul (The Washington Post)

January 09, 2017

President-elect Donald Trump and his choice for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), have tabbed the H-1B program for a major overhaul, and might even scrap it altogether. The Washington Post reports India’s growth as a global tech hub has been hampered as tens of thousands of workers have left. Over the past decade, though, cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore have slowly but surely gained prominence. At first, Hyderabad was mostly a base for outsourcing companies servicing American clients, but now it is home to the biggest offices of Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook outside the United States. Amazon, Dell, Uber and others have major operations there.
