Show Notes

Donald Trump’s sudden $100,000 H-1B visa fee has shaken the U.S. tech landscape and left Indian IT giants scrambling. With renewals, contracts, and billions of dollars in deals on the line, what does this mean for companies, employees, and the future of global talent flows? Host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with ET’s tech reporter Beena Parmar, immigration law expert and founder of LawQuest Poorvi Chothani, and political scientist Ranabir Samaddar to place this move in the larger anti-immigration story developing in the west.

How are new rules and hidden costs from visa integrity fees to tougher naturalization checks reshaping the lives of students, professionals, and families? And at a deeper level, is today’s anti-immigration wave about economics, or about identity, race, and who gets to belong?

Tune in.
