Indian IT professionals in US return home
September 11, 2007 11:24 IST
With India becoming a favoured destination of several multi-national
companies, thousands of Indian IT professionals in the United States are
returning to their homeland with good pay packets, according to a survey.
The survey conducted by Indus Entrepreneurs, an association of Indian IT
professionals settled in the US, found that around 60,000 professionals have
returned to India in recent years, Michael M Bala, Business Head of
recruitment portal clickjobs.com, said.
Several couples in age group of 27 to 35 were looking forward to come back to
India, he said, quoting the survey.
"Most young Indian couples preferred to return to India to protect their kids
from the Western culture and to educate them in Indian atmosphere," he said.
Infrastructure development and job opportunities at the more or less same
salary in India were cited as the factors behind the trend.
Bala, who recently conducted a job fair in New Jersey to recruit personnel for
multi-national companies, said more and more Indians were coming forward to
return to their motherland with the country becoming favoured destination of
several MNCs, financial institutions and IT companies.
"The growth of these institutions in India have thrown open the doors to
talented people, who had so for thought that the West was their only resort,"
he said.
In the recently held job fair, over 3,000 people, mostly couples, had come
forward to attend interviews for companies like Yahoo, Canon, IBM and HP, he
said.
Encouraged by this, the portal would be conducting another fair in the US
within six months, he said.
