Nasscom says US PERM curbs should not hinder talent mobility
In short
Nasscom said the US suspension of Tata, Infosys, HCL and Wipro from the PERM green card programme should not be confused with skilled talent mobility.
It said Indian IT firms are hiring more locally. The report did not say how big the impact will be or when the suspension started.
What the reporting says
Nasscom said the US suspension of Tata, Infosys, HCL and Wipro from the PERM green card programme should be viewed separately from skilled talent mobility, according to a CNBC TV18 Business summary. The statement came as Indian IT firms expand local hiring. The report did not state when the suspension began, how long it will last, or whether companies expect a direct business hit.
Why it matters
Nasscom said the US suspension of Tata, Infosys, HCL and Wipro from the PERM green card programme should be treated separately from talent mobility, while Indian IT firms increase local hiring. The source suggests the policy issue may not stop skilled movement entirely, but it gives no details on duration or financial effect. The operational impact on the named companies remains unstated.
