Indian IT industry important stakeholder in strengthening India-US ties: Shringla

Washington: The Indian IT industry is an important stakeholder in promoting business relations between India and the US as it contributes to the competitiveness of global operations of American companies and creates thousands of jobs in the US, Indian envoy Harsh Vardhan Shringla has said.

Participating in a discussion on ‘America’s Highly Skilled Workforce, the Talent Pipeline, and H-1B Visas’ organised here by Wilson Centre’s Asia Programme and NASSCOM, Shringla on Tuesday said the Indian IT companies have invested billions of dollars across many states in the US.
