Indian American businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is vying for the U.S. presidency, aiming to terminate the H-1B visa, which currently operates as a lottery and has 72% Indian candidates shortlisted last year. Despite his political opposition to the visa, his company, Roivant Sciences, used it frequently during his tenure. Adding to the contradictions, Ramaswamy has shown inconsistent views on climate change and TikTok, despite his affiliations with fossil fuel sectors and eventually joining the platform. His notable campaign promises have made him a standout among Republican candidates, and his H-1B stance may influence India, especially given the initial Indian support for his campaign.
