H-1B Visa Restrictions May Impact U.S. Innovation and Economic Growth, Warns Jidesh Kumar

Jidesh Kumar has emphasized the critical role of the H-1B visa program in sustaining the U.S. economy by addressing skilled labour shortages, particularly in technology, engineering, and healthcare sectors. In a recent statement to Business Standard, Jidesh highlighted that “Tech giants and startups alike depend on H-1B professionals for cutting-edge research and product development. Many also go on to become entrepreneurs, creating jobs and boosting the economy.”

He cautioned that increasing restrictions on the H-1B program could drive global talent toward alternative destinations such as Canada and the UK, potentially weakening the U.S.’s standing as a global leader in innovation. “Restricting the programme could force top global talent to seek opportunities elsewhere, potentially undermining the US’s position as a leader in innovation and economic growth,” he noted.
