“What is interesting is that the number of graduating elite IT-background young management and specialists in India coming out of the IITs (India Institutes of Technology) are increasingly saying they will stay in India for their careers, rather than going to the American Dream. The numbers are going down more and more it seems.
You can’t touch IIT types for under $150K plus bonus.

That is definitely false -- the top Indian IT firms: TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Satyam, until recently would hire only first class engineering graduates, now they also hire those with bachelor's degrees in science. Even IBM (75K employees in India), Accenture (30K), EDS (2K), HP, Cap-Gemini, etc. hire only Engineers or science grads. Those are getting scarce hence the salaries are increasing at 14% p.a.
And you're right about IIT grads being high cost.
