Bear in mind, he was hiring the best of the best (IIT grads); but that doesn't mean useful products/services can't be built by others.

Even so, the projected trends do not support this assumption. Outsourcing to Idnia is on the increase and is economically beneficial also for the outsourcing country's economy (Refer to my article "Why Outsourcing is good for the US Economy). We have consulted with, trained and studied people involved in these ventures for over a decade (early outsouring actually started in the 90s). Working with some of the largest investors adn MNCs, through my company "Managing Across Cultures" , I believe that many who pull out have not learnt or seen the importance of how to manage the outsourcing venture and have not PROFESSIONALLY trained their people on both sides of the ocean, to really understand the cultural differences and how they need to handle the ensuing business challenges. I would be interested to hear of companies who have done this well and professionally and then decided to withdraw from India.

Anyone want to start a consumer retail business in India? :) What’s fascinating here is that the increased wages = increased spending power.

For larger ones (as in you want to build teams of 1000 ) the value proposition is still there. Its actually good that a few companies get out of India so the frothy nature of the market settles and Indian programmers and the like get a saner view of their value and cost benefits.
