Why Are Tech Companies Obsessed With India?

Tech Companies Are Rehiring Workers… Just Not in the US

Tech companies are increasingly rehiring workers outside the United States, especially in India. Over the years, India evolved from being the world’s “back office” into a major global technology hub.

Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI are investing billions of dollars there because India offers a huge pool of qualified engineers at much lower salaries than in the U.S. Additionally, new H1-B visa costs introduced in 2025 made relocating foreign workers to America far more expensive.

As a result, companies now prefer outsourcing and remote hiring. India’s flexible regulations, large population, and growing AI sector have also strengthened its position in global tech.
