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 the age group of 27 to 35 were
looking forward to coming back to India, he said, quoting the
survey.
"Most young Indian couples
preferred to return to India to protect their kids from Western
culture and to educate them in an Indian atmosphere," he said.
Infrastructure development and job
opportunities at more or less the 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 the favoured
destination of several MNCs, financial institutions and IT
companies.
"The growth of these institutions
in India has thrown open the doors to talented people, who had so
far 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. (Agencies)
