Q: Why is brain drain prevalent despite chest thumping of growing economy in India ?
Ans: Despite chest thumping of the majority for national pride, swadesh has rarely been the choice for the best of Indian minds who first choose to study abroad and then also make foreign countries their home by working there. The colonial mindset can also be the reason.
Brain drain is a global phenomenon where the brightest of Human Resources are absorbed by other nations and it is a consequence of a system in which an economy is still too controlled and cannot create opportunities for its best, according to economists. Indian minds, are everywhere, including Parag Agarwal who was made the CEO by Twitter and Leena Nair, who took charge of luxury brand Chanel. The list is endless, from Indra Nooyi, Satya Nadella, Gita Gopinath, Sundar Pichai and Shantanu Narayan being some of the other notable names already on it.
