A couple of anecdotes. EVERY Indian manager I've ever worked for was dishonest and incompetent; in each of three cases the exec brought down the company or the division. 1) electric utility industry company; manager fraud on a $6 mill contract wiped out the division; and he used imported slave labor programmers; 2) telecom; highly dishonest Indian exec destroyed the company, went on to be VP elsewhere, destroyed that company; finally he had to leave Silicon Valley as he was blackballed all over; now he does real estate in India, lolz; 3) an Indian VP at Micron over me destroyed the division through his lies and theft of IP; he tried to make me the scapegoat for his IP theft; company liquidated the division and took a big hit financially. I have even more cases, my point here is the culture they bring with them is barbaric.
And I worked for a Chinese company; they stole IP from Texas Instruments; they bought a mid-scale motel in the Valley, bugged the rooms, housed visiting customer execs there.
Foreign cultures can be toxic in business.
To do that these days you have to speak Hindi.
