No one is saying startup suck. you said: Infosys and TCS are NOT India's representative companies anymore. More executives in the US and Europe probably know the big firms than the startups. Clearly they are representative. Do younge

Infosys has market cap 34b, Flipkart valuation is tumbling and now at 5b. While not as cool as startups, Infosys and TCS are still much bigger and more stable companies.

I should reword my comment a bit. I don't mean to say there are no strings but sometimes it is presented as H1-B's have no freedom to leave or power to get higher wages.

Problem with rich businessmen/women running for office is there are always a lot of consultants who tell them yes you have a good shot no matter the odds. Rememeber Trump was an entertainer, they have a better track record.
