"They (Indian software companies) must recruit American residents in the US, Canadians in Canada, British people inBritain etc. That's the only way, we can become a true multi-national company and in order to do that, we should stop using H1-B visas and sending a large number of Indians to those countries to deliver services," Murthy told NDTV.
He also said that recruitment from colleges should be done and local people be trained to add value to Indian companies.
