Amitabh Kant, former CEO of NITI Aayog, tweeted on his X (formerly Twitter) that the proposed $100,000 H-1B fee could limit opportunities in the US for Indian professionals while creating increased opportunities within India. He noted that America’s stricter policies might redirect innovation and skilled talent to Indian cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Gurgaon, giving Indian doctors, engineers, scientists, and innovators a chance to contribute to domestic growth.
