India experiences reverse brain drain
Monsters and Critics ^ | Dec 26, 2005

BANGALORE, India (UPI) -- India`s booming economy has set off a reverse brain drain, encouraging talented Indians trained in the West to return home to lucrative executive jobs.

These jobs are being offered by Western companies setting up operations in India and letting their Indian employees manage them. Top Indian companies also are contributing to the reverse brain drain with offers of attractive jobs.

No where in India is this trend more evident than in Bangalore, home of the country`s information technology industry, which triggered explosive growth in recent years.

The gated community of Palm Meadows in Bangalore`s Whitefield suburbs, and many others in the vicinity, are full of Indians who were educated in and worked in the United States and Europe, but who have been lured home by the surging Indian economy and its buoyant technology industry, The New York Times reports.

Nasscom, a trade group of Indian outsourcing companies, estimates 30,000 technology professionals have moved back in the last 18 months.

This may not be good news, Some of those Indians may have been enjoying a steak or two or even a fat hamburger. Now that they are repatriated they may not have all of those cultural inhibitions to eating auntie and uncle.

This is not good news to the US. We have been fortunate so far that the world's brightest came here and contributed to our economy. Now it seems like those days are gone and we will have to depend on our home grown talent. Gasp. With the low level of our public schools how do you think we will do?

Nonresident Indians to return home to lucrative executive jobs.

Headline, Jan., 3, 2007

"U.S. corporations set to outsource lucrative executive jobs. Expected saving of hundreds of thousands per executive. Stock soars."

Headline, Jan., 4, 2007

"Opposition to outsourcing offshore grows"

Now for the way it was a generation ago. Yep, all the nation's best and brightest were 100 percent behind affirmative action -- as long as it affected blue collar only. Then. . . .

No. She is not. She is an American. She became bored as an intern at Well Fargo Bank @ U$D 70k, and decided to accept a job as a Marketing Manager with Hewlett Packard, north of U$D 80k. She is an accomplished concert pianist, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and some Dave Grusin jazz.

Yup, these American types are really lazy, dontcha know.

BTW, she doesn'r chaw tooobacco and spit on the side walk.

Sounds like a business plan to me.
