Trump’s H-1B Visa Fee Hike Has Something To Do With MBA Chai Wala? Netizens Think So! Here’s Why…

The ‘panauti’ tag, that entrepreneur Prafull Billore- more popular by the name MBA Chai Wala- ended up earning in 2024, is seemingly not going away anytime soon. Last year, the tag was about him ‘meeting

cricketer Suryakumar Yadav’ and then the player ‘scoring only 6 runs’ in the T20 match- BUT this time, Billore seemingly went international- or is how netizens reacted. Currently, one of the worst news for most Indian techies is the order that US President Donald Trump passed on H-1B visas. As per the latest order signed by Trump, the H-1B visa petition fee has now been raised to USD 100,000. But why are we talking about these visas? Wasn't this about Billore’s ‘panauti’ tag instead? Well, that’s because it turns out that the internet went ahead and connected the entrepreneur with Trump’s decision!ALSO READ: Michael Jackson Lookalike Reviewing Makeup Products Was NOT In 2025 Bingo Card!
