That however does not contradict the fact that India's exam system also filters out a lot of smart people, and trains them really well... most of whom have historically have left for the US.

There is no reason to believe that those who migrate to US are necessarily better than their Indian counterparts. In fact, I know quite a few who got calls from top-tier colleges in US (Stanford/Harvard etc) but chose to stay back in India and launch their own startups.
