India’s Union Budget overlooks global talent, while Trump takes on MAGA over H-1B

India’s Union Budget 2025 falls short in attracting global talent, focusing mainly on domestic education and research. While the budget includes expansions in IITs, medical seats, and AI initiatives, it lacks measures to make India a global hub for top-tier international talent. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s shift on the H-1B visa highlights the growing importance of foreign talent in global innovation. India must introduce bold strategies like fast-tracked talent visas and international research partnerships to stay competitive.
