What will be the impact in India.
Many Indian workers, estimated to be around 25-35%, are employed in Western countries, including the USA. These workers often send remittances back to India, which contribute significantly to the country’s economy. However, due to the ongoing job losses in these countries, many Indian workers are facing unemployment or reduced working hours, which could lead to a decline in remittances. This could have a significant impact on the livelihoods of families who depend on these remittances for their day-to-day expenses, as well as on the overall economy of the country.NRI’s gives money to their family which was 100 billion as per 2020 and it has increase by 12 %
That is a valid point. The Information Technology (IT) sector in India is heavily reliant on Western companies for its revenue, particularly in the areas of outsourcing and software development services. If the Western companies suffer from the ongoing job losses and economic downturn, it could lead to a reduction in demand for IT services from Indian companies. This, in turn, could have a direct impact on the growth and revenue of the IT sector in India, and subsequently on the country’s GDP. The situation highlights the need for diversification of the Indian economy and the importance of expanding into new markets to reduce dependency on a single sector or geography.
