If companies were looking for talent, 80% of H1B’s wouldn’t be from India, but from a much more diverse set of countries. The fact is that India culture is much more so subservient, willing to work more for less pay, won’t unionize, don’t follow major US/Euro holidays, don’t care about work/life balance..etc. Like it or not, it’s nothing more than exploitation as cattle to increase bottom line and sold as increased output.

India is also very nepotistic and it might well be Indian managers already present in the US pushing for entry of their relatives, schoolmates and friends.

Not sure how that’s relevant to my comment.

You’re just saying there’s variance in quality and asserting your opinion about where quality exists/doesn’t exist.

Fine.

The fact there is any variance at all means the highest quality people will be deterred first. Adverse selection.
