Nothing special. It is just a numbers game and the fact that Indians speak English fluently. India has 1.4 Bn people, only the top of the top make it to the best firms in the US so by default you are going to get some star candidates. Luckily nationality plays no (or very limited) role in career success in the US.

You will find much better answers to this question via a simple Google search than getting some random thoughts from coaches. I cant post links here but read the BBC, CNBC articles on this subject.

Population = 1.3B

That was a tough one to solve! :P

I worked/studied with many Indians and here’s what comes to mind (please note that this is very generalized and only based on my personal experience and may vary substantially from someone else’s):

• There’s a gigantic talent pool to begin with
• A lot of Indians have international experience and are multicultural, which is always an advantage
• Great culture that is a perfect balance of respect, humbleness, and hard work
• Never came across Indians who weren’t friendly or social (combined with previous bullet point, that’s a killer combo)

I don’t want to speculate about the school system but would be interesting to know how that ranks vs. the rest of the world.
