The faster body shopping of indian workers to US stops the better. Sadly, due to NRI worship culture many Indians are becoming second rated citizens in their own country. NRIs are wooed by the goverment and get visa free access and many other rights like NRI bank accounts and have rights to buy property. They live eating noodles in US and come back to India to buy few apartments. Due to this local citizens themselves…
EDIT: India's a huge place, and there must therefore be some exceptionally strong developers there. My experience of dealing with Wipro, TCS, etc, tells me that these companies are very effective at either filtering out any engineering talent, or alternatively simply crushing the talent of those who they employ.
For decades many american companies have engaged Indian IT Services companies like Infosys to save on software maintenance costs. Now that there is a wave of economic protectionism across the globe,, many Indian companies have to rethink their strategy. Now is the most opportune moment for Indian IT companies to prove that they are genuinely world class and that they have upped their game in terms of delivering with…
They would claim that water rains from the ground towards the sky if it meant they do not have to admit a mistake and shift the blame towards someone else.
If they do end up following through on this, they will actually be successful in hiring American (local) workers, because I doubt any Indians in the US would want to work for Infosys.

The whole thing is a bit meta.
Many on HN seem to dislike Infosys, but let's not let that cloud larger, far more important issues: Most importantly, it sets very dangerous precedents of U.S. federal government interference in the free market and in business decisions, and of economic nationalism worldwide: * Today you might like who the federal government is picking on and threatening; tomorrow you might not. Do we want politicians making decision…
Seriously, shut up. Infosys has only 1 agenda and strategy - to differentiate based on cost based on low wage workers it is able to hire in India. Because of companies like them, H1 visas themselves are so scarce these days. These companies apply for visas in bulk, pay just over prevailing wage, get their employees to come to US (often displacing higher paid US employees) etc. It is honestly a shame that US allowed t…
It breaks the site guidelines to post uncivilly and we ban accounts that do it, so please don't.

Oooh, offshore standards of excellence at American developer prices! EDIT: India's a huge place, and there must therefore be some exceptionally strong developers there.

So why are they a 150 Billion dollar industry? They must be doing something right.
