The land of snake charmers has emerged as the El-dorada of techies. The dust bowl of the world has risen to dizzying heights. The world can't help but wonder; how Indian Manpower has been looked up to as above, and distinct from the rest of the masses.

India's huge exceptionally talented manpower are working for some top companies in the world, armed with some highly valuable degrees. Headquartered in America and other developed countries of the world, these companies are known to house only the best-of-best high-brow intellectuals. But Indian's got what it takes (read; brains) and it's no surprise Indian manpower is making their presence felt in a big way.

The following statistics might leave any American dumbfounded

32 % of NASA Scientists are Indians.

42 % of doctors abroad are Indians.

14 % of XEROX employees in the United States are Indians.

17 % of INTEL Scientists are Indians.

28 % IBM employees are Indians.

34 % of Microsoft employees are Indians.

India's rich intellectual wealth is not a short term, disposable ...
... wealth. Thanks to the IIMs and the IITs. The Indian Institutes of Management graduates are billed equally or higher than the graduates of reputable business schools like Yale and Harvard. Interestingly, Indian Institute of Technology takes in less than 3 percent of their applications- a rate remarkably lower than most competitive American Universities. Additionally, more than 229 universities and 458 engineering colleges have been powering not just India's but world's economic growth.

Indian doctors, nurses, engineers, cooks and software developers are in high demand all across the globe. Indian manpower, especially in the Information Technology domain is ruling the roost. Interestingly, India over the years has become a happy hunting ground for developed countries. For instance, Germany has introduced a ‘Green Card' to attract Indian manpower. Among the best opportunities on India's plate is UK's niche highly skilled migrant programme for young professionals.

Previously, however, Indian engineers, doctors and Business managers were in high demand. Nonetheless, over the years, there has been a basic transformation in the global labour market. Now, there are a growing opportunities for teachers, nurses and chefs in Australia, New Zealand, and other developed markets.

More and more, Indians are being directly hired by companies in the telecom, advertising, hospitality, biotech and financial sector from far of places like Germany, Hungary and Malaysia.
