REVERSE BRAIN DRAIN. Cheers!!!

Let me start with what is this brain drain, for those whose brain has not come across this phrase. No!!! It’s not a psychic disease or some kind of disorder. Well brain drain is phenomenon where in students from a country gain most of their education goes abroad for work or Post graduation. They obviously turn to live their and become citizen of that country.

So what is the catch here? The catch here is specifically for Premier Indian Institutes. Government of India pours lots of money in creating such names. Also these funding goes in turning this normal Indians, into multinational brands. Don’t we should think of our country? It’s not that i am criticizing them, but it’s still our major concern. At times even though they want to contribute, but they can not.

Thanks to globalization that our government has opened up. Also according to me the major credit goes to IT. Now more and more are turning back to India. They are coming here with their experience, and venturing into new start ups. Which (Entrepreneurship) is the best way to PAY BACK.

Here are two of the companies, which everyone might know, but whose board members are worth a watch. After going through this websites and their management profiles we just fell proud. At last after the long run of Service Industry, some innovation is happening. Innovation is the key component to flourish the industry and to make it self dependent.
