[Post 1623] Is The Dream Of Working Abroad Fading For Indians? | Insight


Summary

India spent decades watching some of its brightest minds leave for opportunities abroad. Now, some are returning, drawn by a growing startup ecosystem and opportunities in AI, semiconductors and deep tech. 

Others may be pushed home by tighter visa rules and rising anti-immigration sentiment overseas. Yet despite talk of a reverse brain drain, the number returning remains small compared with India’s vast diaspora. 

Can India create the jobs, research opportunities and quality of life needed to attract many more home? And could a larger wave of returning talent help transform India from a global supplier of skilled workers into an innovation powerhouse?
