'Brain Drain'-This term has come up in front of us since countless years and is considered as one of the many problems our country faces.But the question is-'Is it really that big a problem as the magnitude thats projected about it?'
We've heard innumerable stories of Indians fueling the growth of NASA,Microsoft,Google,Adobe and now the latest one being Facebook.More than half of the top 50 Venture funded startups in US have been started by Indians.An Indian doing a startup business in US created on an average 150 jobs.All these facts prove Indians are playing a major role in global economy.Given the current scenario,should we be worried with brain drain.The answer should be no.
The businesses are going global,so there should be something that enhances our nation's image worldwide for greater good.Indians working abroad have been doing this job remarkably.Would have we been called the nation of intelligent and hard working people had these Indians stayed at their homes?Would the major technology giants come to India and make Bengaluru the silicon valley of the East? Would the nation have witnessed a major growth in fields of science and technology without this considering our historical laid back attitude for infrastructure growth?
Rajat Gupta,Vinod Khosla,Shantanu Narayan,Vikram Pandit,Indra Nooyi,Sant Singh Chatwal,Luxmi Mittal,Lord Swaraj Paul,Pranav Mistri-all these names have made us proud time and again.Because of them we have been able to see a greater perspective about things.These Indians have been one of the major factors for the Increasing FDI in various sectors of our nation.Hence its time we start respecting them instead of being a harsh critic of brain drain.We have big enough pool of engineers,doctors,entrepreneurs,etc. to drive our nation's growth.
