I haven't spent a lot of time in India so I could be wrong but as an external observer: India's GDP per capita is still quite low. A large part of the country is undeveloped. Fixing roads and infrastructure definitely helps but reducing population and creating better health should help as well. India is a huge exporter of engineering talent. This is bad because it's a brain drain for the country. If I was getting SV level salaries, India would make sense.
