Seen this as well in Berlin, as I've come to talk to quite a bit of Indians living here. Life here is better in many ways regarding safety, pollution, personal (cultural) freedom, etc., but in terms of (software) money India can sometimes beat Berlin even without regard for cost of living. Once cost of living is included in the comparison the difference becomes quite stark, especially with regards to services like food and cleaning. So the Indians here face a tradeoff that's more about personal taste than a clear win in any direction.
