H-1B not part of trade talks, it lost significance post-COVID: Goyal

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said he hasn't discussed H-1B visas with US officials as part of the trade deal. Indian firms remain unfazed by H-1B restrictions, he stated, adding, "H-1B lost its significance...post-COVID-19." "The world...recognises that you could...do the same work from any...offshore location, instead of getting people into very high-cost economies like the US," he added.
