Another approach would be to start with one developer living in europe/US already but wants to live in India. Example: I have an Indian friend who was working in Seattle but ultimately wanted to go back to India. He found a job where he started at the headquarters on the east coast for a few months then moved to India to build a team there. The key thing is patience on these projects and paying people well. FWIW I'm impatient and when I had a similar discussion with management as in the blogpost I openly said it was a bad idea and found myself laid off months later. The company eventually had changes in upper management and closed it's India design center.
