“The Capitol Hill Day planned to be organized by ITServe Alliance in Washington, DC on June 11, 2025 offers us a unique and powerful way to advocate for policies and legislation that impact the small and medium size IT industries in the United States,” said Sateesh Reddy Nagilla, Director of ITServe Alliance Policy Advocacy Committee (PAC) & Immigration. “We are encouraged by the overwhelming support from our members, who have expressed keen interest in being part of this critical event, where we have the opportunity to meet in person with US Representatives and Senators, including influential committee chairs and members, whose decisions impact our businesses.”
Reiterating that “the daylong event on Capitol Hill will have individual one on one meetings and interactive sessions with US Congressmen, Senators and their staff,” Anju Vallabhaneni, President of ITServe said. “ITServe Alliance’s Capitol Hill Day will serve as a critical platform in educating policymakers on important issues that impact our members and the business community, ensuring that our needs and views are reflected in policy debates and outcomes on Capitol Hill.”
“ITServe Alliance has been consistently working to protect the needs of its members,” said Sudheer Venkat Chakka, CPAC- Managing Director. “To that end, ITServe Alliance has been consistently working with the Lawmakers on behalf of its members on Capitol Hill and with the US Administration. Capitol Day is the perfect way for ITServe Alliance to use its collective voice to communicate with policymakers on the issues that are important to our members.”
Raghu Chittimalla, ITServe Alliance Governing Board Chair said, “Capitol Hill Day is a vital part of ITServe Alliance, which was born out of the necessity to be the voice of IT companies in the United States, advocating for our rights, with the objective of educating lawmakers working toward meaningful changes that will benefit the IT industry and the larger society across the nation.”
Despite the rhetoric, research shows that H-1B workers complement U.S. workers, filling employment gaps in many technology occupations, and expand job opportunities for all across the United States. They play a crucial role in bolstering the U.S. economy, fostering innovation, and enriching the fabric of American society through their skills, contributions, and diverse backgrounds.
The 230 immigrant-founded companies made $8.6 trillion in revenue in 2023. More than two out of five of America’s top-earning companies were founded by an immigrant or the child of an immigrant, a record high, according to a report by the American Immigration Council.
It is estimated that an increase in H-1B visas could create a significant ripple effect with an additional 1.3 million new jobs and add close to $158 billion to the gross domestic product in the United States by 2045. It would also stop or reduce the effect of the “reverse brain drain” from the US to other countries.
ITServe was born out of the necessity to protect the interests of the member companies of ITServe. To achieve the goals that benefit the IT Sector companies, the labor force, and the larger US economy, its process hinges on the 3 fundamental pillars of the ITServe PAC: engage, educate, and empower.
A major objective of ITServe Alliance has been to protect its members’ needs. To that end, ITServe Alliance, through its PAC team advocates on Capitol Hill and with the US Administration. Capitol Hill Day serves as a perfect platform to communicate the collective voice of 2,500 ITServe member companies with key policymakers on important issues to our members.
