flag U.S. firms are moving high-value jobs to India's GCCs due to Trump-era H-1B visa changes, seeking cost savings and talent.

flag U.S. companies are increasingly shifting high-value work to India’s global capability centers (GCCs) due to President Trump’s H-1B visa fee hike to $100,000 and stricter rules, prompting firms to move strategic functions like AI, cybersecurity, and product development in-house via Indian hubs. flag With over 1,700 GCCs already in India—more than half the world’s total—companies in tech, finance, and federal contracting are accelerating this shift, driven by cost efficiency, skilled talent, and proven remote work capabilities. flag While proposed U.S. taxes on offshore outsourcing could disrupt the trend, rising GCC demand may offset H-1B losses, with projections of over 2,200 centers by 2030. flag Major firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and JPMorgan Chase are expected to expand India operations, though alternatives like nearshoring to Mexico or Canada are also being considered.
