Could be. There is nothing sacrosanct about Indian workers. (Or any others for that matter) The reason I was advocating that folks with experience and talent seek out product companies, is that as a group, they are less sensitive to worker wages. A talented programmer, product manager, marketing executive or ops person will have at least an order of magnitude greater impact on the company's bottom (or top line) than they would in say a pure body shopping IT outsourcing company. So as an entrepreneur, for the right candidate, I have no problem paying 2x the market rate. A good employee will more than make up for the extra cost. In the outsourcing business though, the business model is very sensitive to labor costs. Not so with product firms.
