Infosys brings back 200 employees, their families from US; vacates its largest international market

In a move to rescue its employees stuck in the US, India’s second-largest IT firm Infosys Ltd has brought back over 200 employees and their families in a chartered flight. Highlighting the leadership of Infosys, Samir Gosavi, associate vice president of Retail, CPG and Logistics, Infosys, wrote that the chartered flight took off from San Francisco International airport and brought hundreds of employees and families home to Bangalore. The employees included those working on-site in client locations on an H1-B visa and others who had temporarily travelled to the US for work-related purposes.

Few days before the IT firm Infosys took the step to bring back its employees, the US President Donald Trump suspended temporary work permits, such as the H1B and H4 visas, till the end of this year. Donald Trump’s order has barred thousands of people from getting employed or joining work-study programmes in the US. The order has also restricted American companies from hiring foreigners and blocked spouses of foreigners working in the US from entering the country.
