TCS says freeze won't change hiring
Tata Consultancy Services told stock exchange it submitted only a single-digit number of PERM applications over the past two years, so Trump administration restrictions will not affect its US workforce strategy.

The Indian tech giant said it intends to hire an additional fifteen thousand people in the US over the next five years to augment its local workforce through campus recruitment.
“Our workforce strategy in the US is anchored in hiring local talent, supported by a robust campus recruitment model.”

“If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants.”
