Can confirm, my company is a Fortune 500 and we employ a large near majority percentage of Indian contractors, and the rest of us developers in us time zones hold their leash in a matter of speaking.

It is infuriating, not everything gets done and what does is done just enough to get thru the door and it’s up to us devs to hold them to task and ensure they write good code. I’ve met and worked with many great Indian developers but they’ve almost entirely been in the US, which breaks that mold you describe

It’s all about squeezing any and all profits out of the process. Paying for skilled developers that can actually work together during similar hours to develop quality software just doesn’t make enough profit apparently
