These Indians were worshipping Trump not so long ago. Then, China and Russia became India's best father. LOL Nowadays Modi doesn't want to return Trump's call.
The Indians got a destruction of their life time after Trump did a U-turn on H1-B. I absolutely enjoy Indian crocodile tears in this thr'ead.
the migrated Asians are considered "saving side", while the western people are 'expanse'.........
no matter what, these migrants are the higher tax paying people than locals, as per the news come from there.....
we usually see the degrees of "3rd world countries" are having less recognitions on the world platform, and yes the H1 visa issue is one among these all news ........
but yes, the needed Commonwealth country's English education for job seekers, who get more preferences than the competitive other Asian-chinese .....

There is something rotten in the state of Denmark....

Danish Industry will deploy Tamil Nadu engineers to Denmark under a joint pilot project with the state government, even as Danish companies expand research and development operations and scale up their Chennai presence to address skills shortages and support long-term investments.
Under the pilot, the Tamil Nadu government will identify candidates and Danish Industry will screen 50 mechanical engineering graduates for placement in Denmark, said Jesper Bollerup Gade, Managing Director of Danish Industry India.
Speaking after the inauguration of the Confederation of Danish Industry’s new office and workspace in Pallavaram, Chennai, Gade said the initiative reflects a shift in how Danish companies perceive India’s engineering talent.
“When Danish Industry first came to India in 2022, the idea was to scout for relatively cheaper manpower to do jobs Danish engineers found less attractive. That has changed,” he said. “Engineers in Chennai are so good that, in many cases, they are actually better than Danish engineers.”
The growing confidence in Indian talent has prompted Danish firms to move more innovation-led work, including research and development, to India, particularly Tamil Nadu. Gade noted that the Technical University of Denmark already collaborates with IIT Madras and discussions are under way with other technical institutions in Chennai.
Highlighting the deepening engagement, Gade said Danish Industry began operations in Chennai in 2022 with a 10-seater office in Guindy and has since expanded to a 140-seater facility in Pallavaram within four years, underscoring Chennai’s strategic importance for Danish businesses in India.
Engineers recruited under the programme will be paid on par with their Danish counterparts and supported through what Gade described as an ethical recruitment process, with a focus on individual welfare and cultural integration.
“This is a pilot project, but it will continue and is likely to expand to other areas depending on industry needs,” he said.
Beyond engineering talent, Danish companies are also exploring opportunities in India’s energy transition under the Green Strategic Partnership between the two countries. Gade said there is strong interest in Danish hydrogen production technologies, and efforts are under way to bring these to India, potentially leveraging a proposed free trade agreement with Europe.
India is competing with markets such as China and the United States for Danish investments, Gade said, adding that while India can be a challenging market, it offers compelling long-term partnership opportunities.
Lars Sandahl Sorensen, Chief Executive of the Confederation of Danish Industry, said Danish businesses have been present in India for more than a century, with the fastest recent growth concentrated in Chennai and Tamil Nadu.
“Chennai and Tamil Nadu are something special,” Sorensen said. “This region stands out for its vibrancy in development, skills and labour, as well as the current DMK government’s focus on attracting investment.”
Sorensen said discussions with Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T R B Rajaa focused on expanding Danish investments in the state. “The government is ambitious and keen to create the best possible conditions for business,” he said.
On the offshore wind project that failed to take off in Rameswaram, Gade said the company is reassessing its financial model. Offshore wind projects are significantly more expensive than onshore alternatives and depend on a different supply chain, he said, adding that developers are reluctant to bid without mechanisms such as government-backed viability gap funding.

We do have credible infrastructure like SEZs, the Special Economic Zones, which are considered above to that of old SEZs of even Singapore.....
We do have enough reasons to invite the Foreign investments from West, like this Danish industry , for example

Microsoft announced Friday that its longtime gaming chief, Phil Spencer, is retiring after 38 years with the company, marking a significant leadership transition for the software giant’s gaming business.
The company said Asha Sharma will step into the role as executive vice president and chief executive officer of the gaming division. Sharma previously oversaw product development for Microsoft’s artificial intelligence models and services, a portfolio that has become increasingly central to the company’s broader strategy.
Within hours of the announcement, some users on social media began criticizing the decision to elevate Asha Sharma to lead the company’s gaming division, including the Xbox brand. A small but vocal segment of commenters accused Microsoft of promoting what they described as “Indian nepotism,” a charge that spread across gaming forums and X.
The changes do not stop there.
Sarah Bond, who has been serving as president of Xbox, is also preparing to step down. Matt Booty, the current head of game studios, will take on the role of chief content officer and report directly to Asha Sharma.
Satya Nadella shared the updates in a company blog post on Friday, outlining what he described as the next phase of leadership for Microsoft’s gaming business.
Sharma most recently served as president of Core AI Product at Microsoft, where she oversaw key artificial intelligence offerings. The company pointed to her experience building consumer products as a central reason for her selection. Before joining Microsoft’s AI leadership team, she held senior positions at Instacart and Meta. She has also served on the boards of The Home Depot and Coupang.
Sharma’s history with the company goes back more than a decade. Early in her career, she worked in Microsoft’s marketing division before leaving in 2013. She returned two years ago to take on a senior leadership role overseeing core AI products, placing her at the center of the company’s artificial intelligence push.
Her elevation to lead the gaming division has not been without pushback. On X, some users questioned her lack of hands-on experience in the gaming business. One user wrote: “Asha Sharma, the new head of Xbox, is an AI executive with no background in gaming.”
Another user tied Sharma’s promotion to a broader anti-immigrant narrative, writing: “Microsoft is literally just indian nepotism now. That’s the whole company. Have you wondered why they rolled out an update that bricked hundreds of thousands of computers? Why OneDrive doesn’t work but keeps enabling itself? Why an instacart employee is handling gaming? Indian nepotism. That’s the whole company now.”
“I’m sure I need 6 years of software development experience, a 4.0 GPA at a top university, and 20 side projects to get a minimum wage internship at Microsoft, but the CEO knows nothing about video games,” while one commented.
Another user wrote: “Why is every American tech company run by Indians now?”
As the debate intensified, one post circulating on X pulled details from Asha Sharma’s LinkedIn profile and argued she had “Never held a postion for more than 4 years (climbing the corp ladder).” The author cited her previous roles to question the depth of her long term leadership experience.
Others pushed back just as forcefully. Several users defended Microsoft’s decision, arguing that a chief executive does not need to design or play video games to run a global gaming business. Some said the backlash against Sharma reflected racism toward Indians in the tech industry rather than a serious debate about qualifications.
The leadership change comes at a complicated moment for Xbox. After years of intense competition with Sony and Nintendo, former gaming chief Phil Spencer acknowledged in 2024 that the 2013 Xbox One “lost the worst generation to lose.” Microsoft has since spent aggressively to broaden its footprint, including its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, as it looks beyond consoles to PC and mobile gaming. The division has also cut more than 2,500 jobs since 2024 and shuttered multiple studios.
In an email to staff, Sharma sought to reassure employees and longtime players. “We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years, and to the developers who build the expansive universes and experiences that are embraced by players across the world,” she wrote.
She added: “We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console, which has shaped who we are.”

I don't know about this story, it's just one corporate hire so whatever but gaming is very profitable, and you would definitely want someone who really knows the industry

I meant that people from the same background will have a better understanding of the business.
Like for example mobile gaming is what makes a truckload of money nowadays but if you do that you'll lose the core audience which is on pc and consoles. Microsoft this year looks strong as they have some new IPs like Fable in the pipeline.
Anyways this is a corporate decision we'll see how this turns out.

This is such a meaningless statement, Microsoft roots in consoles is just Xbox lol, of course you focus on Xbox by default, but then you also want to message you will innovate and lead the gaming industry, what about the new Xbox? Maybe people should worry then lol

Microsoft has been investing a lot in Xbox game pass and cloud gaming plus it's servers. Indian servers opened up last year.
You can literally boot up Modern Warfare 3 or Hogwarts Legacy on a Macbook now. They are leaning more towards live service streaming.

Mobile gaming is irrelevant to be honest.
And gaming is a very specific industry, ideally you would want someone previously immersed in that world, plus both Sony and Microsoft will probably release new consoles in the next year or so..... And Sony is already doing much better so got to deliver with new Xbox
