Where I live in DFW, we’ve got folks from India everywhere, but it seems corporate America hasn’t figured out how the tap into that demographic.

India can be a tough nut. They’ve got a lot of different languages, and different scripts for the languages. Sure Hindi is the official language, but not everybody actually speaks it, or reads the official script for it. Had a bunch of Indian guys at my first company and I talked to them about that. They each spoke 3 or 4 Indian languages, plus English, and step 1 of meeting each other was figuring out which language they had in common. And for a couple it was English. Corporate America in DFW might have looked at that mountain and said “screw it, they all speak English”.
