Looks like the visa squeeze is reshaping global finance faster than anyone expected. Major banking institutions are doubling down on their India operations as Washington's tightened H-1B regulations make US-based hiring prohibitively expensive.

The math is simple: bringing skilled professionals stateside now involves legal mazes and inflated costs. Meanwhile, India's tech hubs offer deep talent pools without the red tape. Financial giants aren't just maintaining their offshore presence—they're actively expanding it.

This shift could accelerate a trend we've been watching: decentralized financial operations spreading across jurisdictions. When traditional banking moves talent offshore, fintech and digital asset platforms often follow the same playbook. The ripple effects might reach beyond conventional finance into how Web3 companies think about global team building.
