I'm an Indian, but based in Australia. I doubt many Indian hackers know about this site or YC for that matter yet. Besides, most Indian startups focus on the domestic market, and the hacker community is more localized comparitively. However the wave is catching up: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=indian+startups http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=indian+startups and I'm sure you'll see a lot more hackers and startups emerging from India in the near future.

There have always been examples of startups with a combination of design and development teams across india and us can do . take zimbra, riya , slingshot ,et cetera, or the startups more established in india like zoho and slideshare . but for the smaller ones, you need to keep your eyes glued to unconferences and blogs. If you're flying down to india, you might want to subscribe to http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/3556/ http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/3556/ for the upcoming unconferences . Its run by gud friend - and pythonista siddhi govindraj who for instance runs a one man project management s/w called silver stripe. Hey i think i might even talk more about the best hacker's in india i've had the privilege of ...uhmm adding to their feed subscriber list 8 ) ravi mohan, who just happened to port all of google director peter norvig's AI book code to java - is a one-man hacker working on nothing but the best of AI related work for the past few years. swaroop ch whose python hackery got him into adobe's flex team in india ,has written a book on python .he's one of the inventors of the ipod charger called ion. gopal v , heads the open source project dotGNU,apart from contributions to native php code from yahoo's bangalore office is one of the most talented native code hacker's out there when it comes to the open source stack. sriram krishnan, who 's story and 'curve to geekdom' is possibly the most enchanting, is a great example of a hacker getting noticed in the blogosphere, and all the way to microsoft.he nows works in the popfly team at redmond. sidu ponnappa, is very 'agile' hacker with very diverse skill sets working in thoughtworks bangalore, apart from a very interesting mobile sideline project with a few friends called inactiv . abdul qabiz , macromedia/adobe/yahoo/ and now hacker at Nanocasts r&r(called Mixercast ) is a also a hacker in the flash/flash space. pvsundarram, who's addiction for designing scalable apps from native mvc to jabber & erlang ,to javascript hackery has taken this hacker to be invited for a number of startups in bangalore,bombay and chennai. he now works at zoomin ,and was my colleague at tutorvista where we worked on the whiteboard & chat collaboration product. balakumar muthu , anantha narasimhan , antano solari, i could go on.. Heck, even i've quit and now finally taken time off to hack up a few open source projects ,apart from bootstrapping for the startup i'm co-founding . (Note: this is where i hint that ppl interested in joined me can ping me ;) ) one thing about all of them is that they're all got a very diverese skillset,and can express themselves verry well.i could go on with more people i know..hmm wish i could export my google opml ....

I've noticed a significant increase in the amount of blog posts I've read about programming/startups/hacking written by Indians in the past few months. One persons view, certainly, but I have a feeling I'm seeing the beginnings of a trend.

Present! Most of the Indian hackers in the US are on the west coast (Silicon Valley and Seattle). Most of the Indian hackers in India are in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. Some have startups but most are still working at big companies and plotting on how to get funding. The culture of entrepreneurship is still very young in India and getting funding isn't easy.
