Course overview
On September 19, 2025, the Trump administration imposed a $100,000 fee per H-1B visa application—a seismic shift for U.S. tech and consulting firms. Shares in Cognizant and Infosys tumbled, reflecting investor fears of margin compression and valuation resets. This video models the income statement impact, runs scenario analyses, and back-solves market-implied assumptions.

It also explores sector-by-sector implications, from Big Tech to startups and healthcare, and situates the move in the broader U.S.–India geopolitical context. For investors, it’s a vivid reminder: policy shocks can destroy billions in value overnight.
