Google may have an ‘India plan’ to tackle H-1B visa restrictions

Google’s parent company Alphabet is quietly assembling what could become its biggest overseas expansion yet—a massive office complex in Bangalore that might house 20,000 new employees, Bloomberg reported. The move comes as the Trump administration’s proposed H-1B visa fee hikes—potentially reaching $100,000 per application—are making it increasingly expensive to bring Indian engineers to American soil.

According to Bloomberg, Alphabet has leased one office tower and secured options on two more in Alembic City, a development in Bangalore’s Whitefield tech corridor.
