An interesting observation on ZDNet:
Graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology so called 'IITians' told Evalueserve that India was fast catching up with the US for the range and quality of career prospects.
Between 1964 and 2001 the number of IITians staying in India was 65 per cent but this jumped to 84 per cent between 2002 and 2008.
The survey of 667 IITians found this was being fuelled by shifting attitudes, between 1964 and 2001 60 per cent believed developed countries offered the best employment prospects but this fell to 51 per cent between 2002 and 2008, with 49 per cent believing India now offered better opportunities.
Most tellingly, 72 per cent of IITians predicted that in 10 years India would be the country holding the most promise of success, with only 17 per cent choosing the United States and five per cent Europe.
The real test would be when:
1. the talks of recession are gone, do people still want to stay in India
2. we have more foreigners coming to India to work - white collar ones
3. immigrants (and not refugees from neighboring countries)
4. we see more innovations from these IIT grads because they are staying back (what they can do in USA, will they be able to achieve it in India)? (not to say that Indians don't innovate in India; the point is that the IITians are hugely successful in other countries)
What do you think?
