How do visas work in this situation? Are you allowed to work on tourist visas?

Presumably by 'tourist visa', OP means the visa waiver program (at least for people from Europe/Australia/etc) - you can enter on this if you're visiting on business. Where business stops and work ends seems like a difficult question to answer.

He's from India, I expect he means some sort of genuine tourist entry visa. Never been to the US, so I don't know about its visas, however.
