2001 I worked half a year in Pune, Maharashtra with Indian developers. In my personal experience Indians are hard thinkers but undisciplined and chaotic coders. This means they managed the mess they made rather well just because they still understand what they did. Perhaps it was the CEO who just let them do what they want provided it works after all.
The salary was one thirteenth of what I would get in Switzerland. The efficiency was about one half, but only because the Swiss CEO himself lived in Pune and later married an Indian woman. If he stayed in Switzerland efficiency would have crashed badly. In any case, don't talk about the code quality.
I also noticed the extreme churn the article mentioned. In my half a year about 5 to 10 percent of the people left and new people started.
