TREE NEWS update: India’s National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) responded to the US suspension of H-1B visas, saying it has consistently held that immigration and the movement of highly skilled talent are two entirely separate issues. The industry body did not announce any further measures in the statement.
NASSCOM Says US H-1B Suspension Conflates Immigration and Talent Mobility
NASSCOM's framing matters because it separates a politically charged immigration debate from the narrower question of skilled labour access, which is the channel that actually touches India's IT services sector. The absence of any announced measures signals a rhetorical and lobbying posture rather than an escalation, leaving member firms to absorb visa uncertainty without a coordinated industry response. Whether NASSCOM moves from statement to concrete advocacy, and whether Washington treats the two issues as linked, is the open question.
