I Am A US Local Hire, Says Infosys Chief Vishal Sikka On H1B Concerns

Though Infosys beat the Street's estimates in the third quarter, questions regarding proposed tighter H-1B visa regime dominated CEO's Vishal Sikka's post earnings press conference. Mr Sikka said that Indian IT companies would be impacted from the new visa regime, "depending on the nature of policy when enacted." But the Bengaluru-based outsourcer is not overly concerned about the visa issue, he added. "I am myself a senior local hire - a US citizen!" Mr Sikka said in response to a question on the visa impact.
