Mostly meh on that. I haven't heard of major discrimination against Indians in hiring practices (modulo visa, of course, I'm talking about Indian origin people with citizenship or equivalent). There's always casual racism (insensitive jokes, etc), but those are small potatoes compared to systemic issues which almost every woman/PoC in tech is aware of and has had tussles with personally.
I've also seen tons of Indians giving talks at confs.
I think the word "model minority" applies here.
YMMV though. There might be lots of discrimination going on that my circle of acquaintances hasn't come across.
