60,000 IT workers return home from Silicon Valley
The Indus Entrepreneur Group (TiE) estimates that around 60,000 IT workers may have returned from Silicon Valley to India in recent years.
According to TiE, the Silicon Valley has been the most affected by this trend. In 2003, TiE had reported that between 15,000 and 20,000 Indians had returned. The trend has continued and about 40,000 more have come back in the last four years.
”The flow of investment capital to India also has expanded, much of it from Silicon Valley VC firms,” says Mishra, Senior Venture Partner with Clearstone Ventures, enunciating a major reason for the shift.
