Indian IT professionals returning from US

Chennai, Sept 11: As India is fast becoming a favoured destination of several multi-national companies, thousands of Indian IT professionals in US are coming back to India with good pay packets, according to a survey.

The survey conducted by Indus Entrepreneurs, an association of Indian IT professionals settled in the US, found that around 60,000 professionals have returned to India in recent years, Michael M Bala, Business Head of recruitment portal clickjobs.com, said.

Several couples in age group of 27 to 35 were looking forward to come back to India, he said, quoting the survey.

"Most young Indian couples preferred to return to India to protect their kids from the Western culture and to educate them in Indian atmosphere," he said.

Infrastructure development and job opportunities at the more or less same salary in India were cited as the factors behind the trend.

"The growth of these institutions in India have thrown open the doors to talented people, who had so for thought that the West was their only resort," he said.
