I too work with a lot of Indians. It all depends on the person. There are a number of people I work with who are extremely talented and others who are not who usually don't last all that long. It depends on the company. For example, if I see a resume for someone coming from certain well-known Silicon Valley companies my expectations immediately drop significantly.
One problem they have in Indian universities is that they typically do not have the hands-on experience one can get at a good US university. While I was in labs with oscilloscopes, programming FPGAs and wire-wrapping CPUs such things are not available in universities in much of the world (they stopped wirewrapping soon after I finished the class).
Now if I could only find a highly qualified person to help me work on U-Boot on multi-core MIPS64 chips (48 cores * 2 NUMA)) and new boards I'd be happy, regardless of if they're Indian or anything else.
