Indian IT companies, including TCS, Infosys, and Cognizant, are among the top beneficiaries of H-1B visas in the United States. According to reports, these companies account for a significant proportion of the total H-1B visas issued each year. In fact, Indian tech companies take a fifth of all US H-1B visas, with TCS, Infosys, and Cognizant leading the pack. The H-1B visa program allows US companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, such as technology and engineering.

However, the H-1B visa program has been a subject of controversy in recent years, with some critics arguing that it displaces American workers and takes jobs away from locals. The Trump administration has also been critical of the program, and there have been efforts to reform or even abolish it. Despite this, Indian IT companies continue to rely heavily on H-1B visas to staff their US operations. In response to the controversy, some Indian IT companies have started to diversify their workforce and reduce their reliance on H-1B visas.
