I work with a lot of great Indian software developers; none of them worked IN India itself; they tend to be the ones that are skilled enough to quickly realize they're able to command massively higher wages by leaving India.<p>India, despite it's reputation as a software outsourcing location has never been able to produce exportable quality besides textiles.
