ARE INDIA'S BRAINS 'DRAINING' HOME?

Posted at February 14, 2001 01:43 PM Pacific

FOR THE PAST few decades, America's ever-increasing
need for high-tech professionals siphoned fresh IT
talent from India, known for producing some of the top
talent in the software industry. Now that India's
economy is being liberalized, it seems poised to win
back some of its expatriates with an invigorated,
entrepreneurial business environment.

During the past few years, an increasingly large number
of Indian students and young professionals are heading
back to India armed with foreign degrees and work
experience -- a phenomenon that has come to be known
as "reverse brain-drain." Although most cite
loneliness for family and friends and a need for a
sense of belonging as reasons for going back, some
also believe that the country offers them the chance
of a better life, both personally and professionally.
