Infosys CEO Dismisses US Deportation Claims: 'No Employee Apprehended'

  • Infosys CEO Salil Parekh denied social media reports of an employee being apprehended and deported by US authorities.
  • Parekh clarified that one employee was denied entry into the US months ago and sent back to India, not apprehended.
  • The rumors originated from an X post by Chetan Anantharamu, alleging an Infosys employee was picked up by ICE agents and deported.
  • The post falsely claimed the employee was humiliated during transit in Frankfurt and given two hours to pack.
  • The IT industry faces visa challenges, heightened scrutiny, and rising costs for H-1B visas, but Infosys maintains its mixed delivery model.
