Really surprised at the fact that how many people call foul on the rest of the Indians moving across the country for work! Kind of funny how I used to tell friends abroad about systemic discrimination there while we're treated as outsiders within the confines of our own country.
What's more, I saw some newly minted graduate on X yesterday bashing people on comments and talking about how Bangalore will be thriving with start-ups and jobs if every so-called migrant person leaves! To think someone like that is going to work at Morgan Stanley, it just makes it even sadder for others because that's the mindset and environment she will bring into the workspace.
Who do we think is starting up in reality over here? We have over 25k start-ups and a good majority of them are from people who came to work here from different states and are now building on their own. What's more even folks who've moved base from the US setup shop here not because of benefits, but purely because a meritocratic talent density exists here. (Meritocracy being the operative word here!)
In the current schema, companies and GCCs move where there is talent supply. If supply ceases, so does demand for setting up shop here in Bangalore!
All this does is showcase the rest of the world that we still aren't a conducive place to conduct business at! And I am not kidding when I say this, people doing Indian investment are absolutely watching this and bringing this up constantly...
