Reminds me of the push to outsource jobs to India 20 years ago.

  I think this round will be startups from India hiring there and moving into the US with sales and marketing orgs. No need for expensive US devs.

    I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been more prevalent. Freshdesk [0] did this way back in 2011. There's certainly no lack of talent in India, I'm not sure if it's a cultural or systemic issue that has prevented Indian startups from getting more traction.

      India has some of the most exciting growth in startup sector recently. If anything they're going through a massive bull market buoyed by the modernization of their online infrastructure. Their digital finance (UPI vs Zelle) and digital identification system (Aadhar vs SSN) is the envy of other countries now.

        I think just about anything would be improvement over SSN if the system was actually designed as a national identification system instead of being improvised into one.
