Purpose of the article

why are these layoffs happening why are these Global Tech Giants indulged in a massive firiindulging which is impacting thousands of Indians in the U.S as most of the Giant’s leadership told thaGiant’se is this macro economic concerns and macroeconomic

because of the inflation, there are upcoming fears o,f the recession slows down it’s going to impact the economy for last few years during the coveted time the digital economy boomed and there were much hiring however was drastic and immediate slowdown is impacting their businesses

so all these companies are tightening their bills to be prepared to tackle this recession and slowdowns Ambassador

Overview of the economic landscape in 2023

how is it impacting the Indians what we hear is of the two lakh people who’ve lost their jobs in the country in the last three to four months about 40 percent of them are Indian I.T professionals and especially those who are there on H-1B Visas so how are they going to be impacted

how difficult is the current scenario for them  it’s going to be very difficult at a personal level for themselves and their families no doubt just to give some more factual perspective four hundred thousand H1B visas have been granted by the Americans all total now 75 percent oat is Indian according to 2021 data,

Global economic trends and forecasts

now you are saying 30 to 40 percent have been laid off are Indians of those now the total Workforce of Indians out of the total in the US is 75 so potentially it could get much worse yes um so far it hasn’t but it could now the question is obviously there is a humanoblem and there is also a problem in the domestic politics of India

because there will be constituencies on behalf of these families these groups of people affected are Iof Indian citizens now what are we going to do about it that is a big question and I will say that the government of India will have to trade very carefully on this because at the end of the day

The impact of new technologies and industries

This is an issue of sovereignty but we cannot just brush this issue under the carpet because not just of the mass not because of domestic politics alone in India but also because of her overall ties with the US right if there is a full spectrum relationship this issue of movement of people unfettered on both sides has to be addressed I’ll stop here I’ll have more sure I’ll come back to ambassador to understand.

Political and social factors affecting the economy

what really can the government of India do in this matter but before I come across to you Mr saluja one question from M, Saluja is a related question on the implication that the current scenario is having on the Indians have been impacted Mr Khan help us in our viewe.rs uh give a sense of you know uh what is the stipulated period under which those who are holding the H-1B visas have to look for another employment and the fact now that it’s a series of layoffs all of the companies big or small are actually firing employees

 that stipulated period how difficult period for those who’ve been impacted to actually find new jobs year this is a massive brutal and sudden start with October and particularly last few months or three weeks there have been 73 000 layoffs in uh overall in the USA and most of them in Silicon Valley uh than Seattle those which are the take up because four Giants are mostly situated either in Silicon Valley in Seattle they are a major concentration Noah this uh company.
