Re:From an Indian: its more serious than y'all thi (Score 1)

Actually, a lot of indians do start up their own companies. The obvious problem of-course is that it's difficult to start-up a company whose products are aimed solely for foreign markets. But that's kind of changing now. As India's infrastructure improves and provides the demand that's required to provide the ignition spark, we start seeing a lot of IITians going and starting their own companies. This has already started happening with companies that started by providing solutions to some domestic mill machinery manufacturer and are now right up there in the field of automation. To be very frank, lots of these outsourcing outfits are really not made of what are considered as "engineers" here. It's not uncommon to see ads in newspapers that say, "Unemployed ? Bright career prospects at call center !! No skills required !!". Of course, the offshore R&D centres that are run by companies do attract a lot of talent, but you won't see too many self respecting engineers working at outfits like Wipro !
