Trump's H-1B changes will trigger a ₹25,000 crore financial crisis in India that NO ONE is talking about.
While everyone debates immigration, a massive loan default tsunami is building.
Here's the hidden economic bomb about to explode: 🧵
The numbers are brutal:
→ H-1B IT workers: 32% (2003) → 65% (2024)
→ US computer science grad unemployment: 7.5%
→ Indian students with US education loans: 70-80% of lender portfolios
Most people think this is just about visas. They're missing the financial destruction.
Here's what's actually happening:
No H-1B visa = no US job → thousands of Indian STEM graduates return home with ₹60-80L US loans they can't repay.
Indian salaries (₹15-25L) can't cover US loan EMIs designed for ₹80L+ US salaries.
The loan companies about to get destroyed:
→ HDFC Credila: ₹25,200 crore exposure to US/UK loans
→ Auxilo, Avanse: 70-80% portfolios are US STEM loans
→ Default rates will skyrocket as graduates return unemployed
This is their 2008 subprime moment.
But here's the irony:
Trump wants to protect American jobs → restricts H-1B → forces US companies to hire Indian talent in India instead of bringing them to America.
Result: India gets the jobs AND keeps the talent at home.
India's massive wins from H-1B restrictions:
→ US companies forced to set up Global Capability Centers in India - Google, Microsoft, Amazon accelerating India operations
→ TCS, Infosys getting outsourcing contracts they couldn't dream of - No other country can replace India's IT talent pool
The smart money play:
AVOID: Education loan companies
LONG: Indian IT companies with strong outsourcing capabilities
WATCH: Companies benefiting from reverse brain drain
This is the biggest wealth transfer from loan companies to IT firms in Indian history.
The timeline for destruction:
Q2 2025: First wave of H-1B rejections
Q3 2025: Mass graduate returns to India
Q4 2025: Loan defaults begin cascading
2026: Education loan companies face existential crisis
If you're an Indian family with kids planning US education:
STOP.
Calculate the math.
₹80L loan + uncertain visa + unemployment risk = potential financial ruin
The American Dream became an Indian nightmare.
The macro shift happening:
2000-2020: India → America (brain drain)
2025+: America → India (forced reverse migration)
Every Indian STEM graduate forced to return = qualified talent pool for Indian companies.
Bottom line:
Trump's H-1B changes aren't just about immigration. They're triggering the largest restructuring of global tech talent in 30 years.
Every crisis creates millionaires.
