A large number of Indians are employed at staffing companies which are not "Indian companies". These come in two flavors:
(1) large consulting firms like Cap Gemini, Accenture, IBM Global Service etc. These are American or European competitors of TCS, Infy, Cognizant[1], Wipro.
(2) "desi body shops" which are typically run by American-Indian business community.
#2 has a long tail - there are lots of firms, and each gets a small number of H-1Bs each year. Also, fraud is much more rampant in this sector [2][3][4].
[1]: Cognizant is HQed in Teaneck, New Jersey. It started as an in-house technology unit of Dun & Bradstreet.
