Citigroup moves 1,000 tech roles to India, U.S. presses reforms

Today we’re unpacking two stories with real-world ripple effects. First, Citigroup is shifting about 1,000 tech jobs from China to India, a sign that companies are leaning on lower-cost, more predictable hubs as U.S. visa renewals get pricier and rules feel tighter. Then we’ll get into the U.S. push for India and Brazil to open their markets more, with a public warning from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after tense talks over tariffs.

You’ll hear what these moves could mean for where jobs land, how companies plan hiring and sponsorships, and why your cost of living could be touched by trade decisions. We’ll break down what a Global Capability Centre actually is, how trade pressure can change supply chains, and what to watch if you’re a worker, a student planning your career path, or an employer managing teams across borders.
