How 'America First' could turn into to 'India First'

The article discusses the potential impact of the "America First" policy on the U.S. and India's technology industry. Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of a major Indian outsourcing company, argues that a crackdown on the H-1B visa program could backfire and ultimately harm the U.S. The article suggests that the H-1B visa program has allowed Indian tech workers to contribute significantly to the growth of the U.S. tech industry. Nilekani contends that restricting this program could lead to a situation where "India First" policies become more attractive, potentially driving talent and investment away from the U.S. The article highlights the interdependence between the U.S. and India's technology sectors, and suggests that a balanced approach to immigration policies would be more beneficial for both countries. It cautions that an "America First" policy could inadvertently create an "India First" scenario, which would be detrimental to the U.S. economy and its position as a global tech leader.
