Tell you what, I want to see if this is true. So here is a unique offer.
If anyone here would like me to build a web application for them from scratch, I will quote you a price and a time. The price will be my usual freelance price ($100 / hour) but the turnaround time AND the quality will probably delight you.
Here are my credentials briefly:
I have experience with C, C++, PHP, Mysql, Javascript, CSS3, HTML5, Node.js ...
I have built complex integrations using the facebook platform since 2007 and I have built apps and pages for various brands etc.
I authored a framework that lets me develop social sites and apps in a fraction of the time it would take from scratch. An earlier version was open-sourced at http://phponpie.com
I can administer Linux and set up development environments, version control, project management, and can act as a team lead
I have had to deal with issues involving scaling architecture (e.g. sharding), security (e.g. CSRF prevention) and browser incompatibilities. In fact my framework takes care of most of them out of the box, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel anymore.
I've been managing a team of developers for the past two years (http://qbix.com/about), so I could help you with leading a team
I've created some apps that have been downloaded about half a million times and have 30k daily active users, so I could probably consult you on increasing word of mouth and engagement.
I'm a CEO of a start-up, which has exclusively hired overseas developers. They are Russian-speaking, however, not Indian. It works for me since I am Russian speaking.
But I do consulting on the side.
The experiment is ... I am curious who reading this would actually contact me and want to hire me. I will make myself available for the next month to do my best on any project I decide to take on.
My guess, however, is that hiring is difficult and connections are usually made through other channels (such as recruiters). This is why many people hire Indian developers online. Because online, it is a much more attractive option.
