PERMafrost without bite: Indian IT must stop treating every US rule change as a crisis to be lobbied away, fix lies elsewhere

US Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling has suspended eight companies from the Permanent Labour Certification Programme, significantly impacting their operations. Companies primarily delivering services from India are affected, hindering their ability to hire foreign workers. This situation is anticipated to push Indian tech talent to consider alternatives, including returning to India. The decision may also disrupt ongoing trade discussions between the US and India regarding skilled labor mobility.
