The CEO of a tech company that is one of the biggest H-1B visa sponsors in the U.S. said they would no longer be hiring applicants on the visa amid a Trump administration visa crackdown.
Tata Consultancy Services’ CEO K Krithivasan said that the Indian tech company would reduce the number of H-1B visa holders in its U.S. offices. Krithivasan told the Times of India that the company would “continue to hire more locally,” adding that this was part of a “reduction in dependency on visa-based talent.”

Krithivasan told the Times of India that the company had around 11,000 employees on H-1B visas as part of its roughly 32,000 workforce in the U.S. The CEO said that the company would now reduce the number of employees on visas and focus on hiring locally.
“We have enough people on H-1 already in the US. I don’t think we would be looking for adding to that count,” Krithivasan told the Deccan Chronicle.
The CEO said that the scale down of employees on H-1B visa was part of an ongoing strategy to reduce reliance on visa-based talent, but it comes as the Trump administration introduced a steep fee for the visa.
“Our original plan was always to send people on H-1 with the intention of bringing them back and rotating them. So it continued to focus on bringing back at the end of the programs, or rotating them with locals. And how much we would renew or whom we would renew is a call we will take at the appropriate time. We are looking to increase our local participation,” he told the Deccan Chronicle.

Political talker Dick Morris told Newsmax last year, “The H-1B program has been rife with corruption ever since it started under Clinton. Alejandro Mayorkas, then head of the Clinton immigration service, was literally working with Hillary’s brother to get H-1B visas issued for a Chinese company that was producing weapons of mass destruction.”
yahoo.com——While Republican lawmakers on key committees now express some openness to reform, they’re wary of moving too fast and getting crosswise with a GOP base eager for a border crackdown.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, w/ jurisdiction over immigration policy, said winning the AI race “includes Americans who went to school and got the same degree” as STEM immigrants.
But Jordan, a longtime admirer of Musk, said he’s happy to work with the tech billionaire on the issue — after the border is locked down.
“President Trump and Mr. Musk, if they’re open to other things, we’ll look at those,” Jordan told reporters. “But we got to secure the border first. That’s where the country’s at. The sequence matters a lot.”
breitbart.com——The wage data confirms accusations that the H-1B visa program is used across several industries to cut labor costs for companies while crowding American professionals out of jobs that would otherwise go to them.
About a year ago, laid-off American professionals — who say they were replaced with Indian H-1B visa workers — scored a $4.65 million settlement against Indian outsourcing firm Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI).
How to admit you were using H1Bs to hire cheap labor without admitting you were using H1B’s to hire cheap labor
Yep.
In today's economy, if you are not worth the $100K fee , you are not the kind of world class talent that the H1B visa program was created to recruit or retain.
Hiring bonuses + relocation allowance for in demand, qualified but not exceptional US workers routinely exceeds $100K
Arrest them all! It’s a cover for what he already did.
"But only people of Indian ancestry and the proper caste", is the part left out of that quote.
White people, Christians, and Jews need not apply.
The Tata and Wipro agencies should be gone.
The same deep state bunch that sponsored/funded caravans of Illegals to cross the border during the Biden regime.....CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS organization.
Krithivasan will is just hire his Indian relatives already in America.
At least now Americans are being aware of the Indian invasion of our country
And they regularly move on to green cards and then citizenship. So not upping the number means they can keeping pulling new H-1Bs into the pipeline at roughly their current rate.
Given their history I wonder how many non Indian citizens will actually bother applying for any of their advertised jobs.
Jim Jordan is a traitor. Another fake patriot.
These tech companies are just paying lip service. They are going to just wait Trump out. As soon as a Rat is in power, the H1B program will be restored (without the 100000 fee) and millions more will be allowed to take American jobs. The democrat party leadership truly hates American citizens.
The H1B program has ALWAYS been merely a way to keep IT salaries low. I worked with hundreds of H1Bs and only a couple of them were more knowledgeable or skilled than the average American. Most had only rudimentary skills, and some lacked basic English language skill.
Correct. Green cards issued via sponsorship from relatives far outnumbers H1-B Visa’s issued every year. There is no $100,000 fee to hire green card holders. The horse has left the barn.
There is some world-class tech talent in India, but they mostly stay in India, where they can get world-class wages and an India-class cost of living.
H1-Bs are about keeping tech wages low, and driving Americans out of the business entirely.
We need to end 99% of immigration now until we get rid of the illegals the people here start acting like Americans
