Indian-origin investor's H-1B prediction: If 10% of Indians stuck in US Green Card backlog return, India’s GDP could rise 1%
Entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa predicts that if 10% of Indians in the US Green Card backlog return, India's GDP could rise by 1%. This is due to potential US immigration policy changes, such as eliminating the 60-day grace period for H-1B visa holders. While Wadhwa sees this as India's economic gain, some social media users disagree, citing high taxes and poor infrastructure in India.
1. 1. India could get a major economic boost if skilled Indians caught in the US green-card backlog begin returning home, with the return of even a fraction adding 1% to India's GDP over the next two to three years.
1. 2. The US administration moved towards eliminating the 60-day grace period for H-1B visa holders, meaning they could lose legal status the day they lose their job.

Malaysian students developed WattsUp, an IoT-enabled micro-hydropower system to generate electricity from sink wastewater. The prototype filters and stores intermittent flow, releasing it through a siphon and nozzle to drive a Pelton turbine and generator. While scientifically plausible, it's an experimental prototype with limited energy output, aiming for cost-effective energy recovery from waste.
