Amid Donald Trump’s H-1B Visa Fee increase up to $ 100,000 for new applicants, an old video of Microsoft-Medisher Bill Gates is creating Buzz Online. In the video that is going viral, Bill Gates is seen explaining how a group of 15 Indian engineers helped Microsoft be what it is today. Gates said that everyone came from the IIT, and joined a time when Microsoft would not taste the success it enjoyed today. The video assumes importance if technical enterprises are scrambling to find solutions to Trump’s new H-1B visa rules, which instructs technical professionals from abroad to pay $ 100,000 to the administration to secure work in the US. ‘In a sense, my first connection with India came because of the IITs. One of the big people who worked for me said he would go to India and rent about 15 people who were at IIT, and it would strengthen Microsoft’s engineering capabilities, “Bill Gates said during a meeting in the Delhi IIT in 2024. In time, Microsoft had a few hundred employees, but it was an incredible engine. “Gates said he thinks it’s a ‘good idea’. However, the move was criticized by the Indian as well as the American press. “The Indian press at the time said it was a terrible thing, because all these big people left the country. The American press said it was a terrible thing, all these people coming from another country,” said the co-founder of Microsoft. “But I think now, more than 25 years later, we can say that it was a phenomenal thing,” he added. Watch the video here why does H-1B visa for India make important? Indian technical professionals are responsible for most of H-1B visas-more than 70 percent. Donald Trump’s decision to stop the H-1B visa fee to $ 100,000 is seen as a blow to the Indian technology industry, where most professionals go to the US to make a career. The latest move by US President Donald Trump to review the H-1B visa fee to $ 100,000 has expanded the protectionist barriers to India, according to a report by Systematix Research. According to the report, Trump’s decision expands its counter-Indian trade-offensive or the shortage of merchandise and poses a new threat to the $ 190 billion export industry in India.
