My experience was that I hired a developer who silently was replaced with a group of lesser capable staff. After the first few meetings, they were unable to take video calls and after 3 months the quality of the work went drastically down hill. I eventually had to let them go, and only found out because one person on the team felt bad about the situation and contacted me to say as much. So my experience is not great. Generally speaking, I don't think India is a go to country. For US firms, hiring workers in the UK is usually a much better bet because salaries are depressed there. Ghanian, Nigerian, Kenyan and South African firms are just as good as Indian IC and have noticeably better TZ difference to the US.
