Where once the brains of India left for more lucrative pastures in the US, today a handful of fresh US college graduates are sampling the fruits of the Indian economic boom.
The recruits from the US and elsewhere are not expected to fill the looming labor pinch. But they do illustrate the efforts by Indian companies to extend their global reach and recognition.
David Craig, 23, is one of the new US imports. He had never left home in Tucson, Arizona, when the Indian outsourcing giant Infosys Technologies came calling at a job fair earlier this year at the University of Arizona, where he was majoring in engineering management.
Encouragement came from his career adviser, who, as it turned out, had just bought Infosys stock. Stinging reproach came from his uncle: Why, he wanted to know, would Craig want to work for an Indian company that might take jobs away from other Americans?
~snip~ Only a small handful of Americans and others have been wooed by Indian companies so far.
