#2Infosys sees the writing on the wall for their H1B game. It's one of the few reforms which absolutely is going to happen -- nobody on any side has any pity for Infosys.
Better get started with US workers now, before someone cuts in first.

#5The bigger question is what ethnicity these Americans are going to be...if they are all Indian Infosys are going to enrage both employees on the Indian subcontinent and run the risk of alienating US business buyers also.
Infy's best hope is to become a global offshore entity, but the greatest challenge of all is going to be evolving a legacy IT services and support outfit into a credible AI development house, two fundamentally different entities. I doubt it is possible

I guess we saw the same in Australia with the 457 visa, and our Prime Minister abolishing it now.
The act is peppered with phrases like "Preferring local workers etc" but we know how that turned out (and why it was so easy to ignore the spirit of the act). It raises revenue for the government, and cuts costs for the "poor old companies" at the expense of local workers.
Shame on anyone that abused this.

#7Where are these people going to materialise from, weren't they saying for decades that Americans are not interested in STEM.

#8You can try to work there, but I am certain you will not enjoy the work culture much.
While there's a lot of talented people, rather than promoting them, they just drain them. The ones that get promoted are the ones better at draining people.

Thats a good point but I doubt they can change their working environment. If they are capable of change they would have done it years back. I assume they want to continue with current way of doing things, which worked for them for 3+ decades.
