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.
ping, a "khan" just dropped an insult on indians.
Now if they would just open some Dairy Queens and 7/11s over there. {did I type that outloud?}
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?
Eazi, onse I be done slinging rock I can den be edumicated in the oppressive speak of the white man blue eyed devil. Den best be ware, I be representan.

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. . . .
Some people here make me sick.
How many people here have their CPA and MBA's at the age of 22? Well, my son's fiance earned those degrees.
Flame on. I'm wearing Nomex and Kevlar.
I pray your son has a blessed and wonderful married life. And yes, I have met many people from India (a brother of mine is Indian ....don't ask, very long and considerably convoluted story) and I have nothing but respect for them.
So what is she? Chinese?
Incase you didn't know, we have better steaks right here in India.
Are you really Indian????????? I have some honest questions for you if you are.
And... you were born, where?
The US; why?
"Something unthinkable in their own country"
I am an Indian Hindu living in India...... and I eat beef. Hardly "unthinkable".
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.
Just curious. Some folks are very rude and do not understand the middle-land of America.
Sounds like a business plan to me.
And you can ask me whatever it is you want to ask.
