Note that it's extremely difficult for a non-Indian to work in India. "Business visit" for 60 days a year, yes, but work?

- yummyfajitas 10y agoFor an IT worker it's not that hard. The main conditions are being paid a minimum amount (it's about 15 lac/year, last I heard), registering with the police every 180 days, and other details like that. The 15 lac/year requirement doesn't even apply to ethnic chefs and language teachers.
- greglindahl 10y agoAh, the thing I'm remembering is the Economist noting that there's no path to citizenship. Every H1B my companies have ever employed became a citizen of the US. ("15 lac" is 15 lakh is 1.5 million rupees, which is around $22,500 at the moment.)
- padiyar83 10y agoI agree and its wrong. India should have a path to allow for long periods of staying and working in the country and provide for a valid path towards citizenship. Thats the only way India can be a country that can attract and retain smart global talent to enable its companies compete globally.
