“This penetration does not work anymore …”

Rajish Sony did not float the words. In a sharp warning aimed at the Indian parents, the veteran investor and the founder of GSF challenged veteran investor at Startup Accessor GSF: The Master’s degree in the United States guarantees a profitable technological profession. “This penetration is no longer working,” declared, highlighting a road often by IIT graduates – monitoring multiple sclerosis in the United States to drop in a $ 200,000 job. He said that this shortcut was now broken.

In a publication on X (previously Twitter), Sawhney wrote, “There are no jobs in the United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom for international students. Honey may end, and parents should think twice before spending a crime on expensive education. Hurrying. ”

His remarks come amid the grip of the United States government on immigration policies, especially those that involve H-1B visas and students-a step that has ripples in academic and technological societies in India.

The H-1B visa, a gateway for thousands of Indian technology specialists, is subject to intense scrutiny. In 2025, recordings fell to about 344000 – the lowest level in four years. The most comprehensive and red selection rules for fraud increased the requirements of documents, longer waiting times, and more severe costs.

Meanwhile, Indian students – who make up about 30 % of the international registrants in the United States – wrestle with new obstacles. F-1 F-1 F-1 interviews are copied in major centers such as Hyderabad. The necessary proposals threaten the decline in the optional practical training program (OPT) to the limited job opportunities that remain after graduation.

Completely, these developments indicate a seismic shift. For many Indian families weighing the cost of an international degree, Sawhney’s publication may be a warning call: the old play book is no longer applied.
