Young folks in India are happy working from their native home & saving cost of rent and getting home food.
This is a fantastic short term benefit but the cost of this is very high.
Learning being around smarter folks & absorption by osmosis and overhearing has reduced to zero.

While we all celebrate how Indians are become global tech CEOs and bask in this reflected glory, we as Indians need to ask what is making our best leave the country and what will reverse this trend in years to come.
A country with its best talent leaving will not win big.
Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, and now Twitter run by CEOs who grew up in India. Wonderful to watch the amazing success of Indians in the technology world and a good reminder of the opportunity America offers to immigrants. 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (Congrats,
