Walmart CTO Suresh Kumar is being criticised in US after social media users claimed the company will replace its 1,500 laid-off employees with H1-B-visa holding Indians. "Over 40% Walmart IT department is H1-B from India. Coincidence?" a user said. Some users claimed Walmart issued 3,800 H1-B visas weeks before layoffs. Kumar is a Bengaluru-born PhD-holder with 25 years of experience.
