All of us have been talking about brain drain in India and the top performers going out of India. With the kind of increasing educated population in India, does it not create more employment opportunities to the next best performers coming out of college, thereby balancing the employment opportunities in India!
We should also look at the kind of foreign exchange inflows which is brought by these so called brain drainers. With the whole world becoming a global village, this should not be a point of concern. For the past one decade, India's economic growth has been supported by IT/ITES and this business is mainly dependent on overseas business. The initial growth of this industry started with other countries realising our capabilities through the so called brain drainers.
The fact of matter is that India is not always having the next best. There are so many TOP Performers who by choice don't want to move out of India. India is having the maximum number of TOP intellectuals is clearly evident from the fact that all other countries are looking at us for intellectual outsourcing and this is the industry which is growing at the fastest pace. We are one of the few countries who survived the recent global meltdown and the entire world is looking up at us and appreciating us for our economic & financial model and knowledge.
Currently brain drain is not a concern at all as far as India is concerned, thanks to the high quality of education, our growing young population and the only sustainable growth market in the world.
