ETSA chief: Indian startups to gain from US green card curbs
In a recent interview, the ETSA figure discussed India’s trade deals, India-US relations, and foreign investment, hinting at potential advantages for Indian businesses amid visa policy changes.
The remarks reflect a broader narrative among some policymakers and industry leaders about India’s ability to retain skilled workers and capital. Earlier this month, Indian startups raised $954 million across 88 deals in August, a 44.3% month-on-month increase, signaling renewed investor interest. However, it remains uncertain whether visa restrictions will lead to tangible benefits for startups—or simply shift talent and resources to other markets.
The discussion also comes as Indian startups explore opportunities in BRICS nations, where success depends on execution, local partnerships, and procurement deals. For now, the trade group’s perspective contrasts with the challenges facing founders who still rely on global mobility to scale.
