India doesn't have institutions or the kind of exposure people at MIT or Stanford or Berkeley or Princeton have.
There is almost no support from the government and people are either mostly lower middle class or poor. So its a little unfair to expect people like Richard Stallman or Larry Wall to have born in India.
It is possible in the US only because because bulk of work in building universities, infrastructure and exposure is already done by your government.
However when given the proper support Indians have always proved to be very hardworking people who go great heights.
Where does this leave us? Companies like these did a lot of work to put Indian developers on the global scene by first fighting a socialist kind of economy, building multi billion dollar businesses, training people and doing a lot of confidence building work for Indians.
May be the next generation you will see some genuine competition from India.
I understand Tata means for a lot of people having a job and a salary, and in India, given the opportunities Tata offers this is very important.
I'm not against people working there, what I'm against is the work model that is used in the majority of projects there. As others have said, some customers pay to have 'warm bodies' in the project.
As you said, maybe next generations will have more and better opportunities in India, let's hope for that and surely Tata and others are a step towards that.
I highly doubt it. Given the current scenario where college kids are just upto how to settle for a job and pass through it, I highly doubt how many innovations we will see.
