You may already know India produces a lot of engineers. What\u2019s changed recently is how good they\u2019ve gotten\u2014and how relevant they are to your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
65% of the population is under 35. That\u2019s a staggering number of digital natives coming online, learning, and building.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Government-led programs like Skill India and NEP are working at scale to prepare developers for exactly what the global market needs: AI, automation, cloud, cybersecurity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Employability rates are climbing. In fact, it\u2019s already up by 7%\u2014and now over half of Indian graduates are considered job-ready in tech fields. That\u2019s a serious shift in education meeting industry standards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
So yeah\u2014India\u2019s not just producing more developers, it\u2019s producing better ones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Let\u2019s put things into perspective. Indian tech firms have already:<\/p>\r\n
And here\u2019s the kicker: More than 75% of Fortune 500 companies work with Indian tech talent.<\/p>\r\n
So when you bring on Indian developers, you\u2019re not rolling the dice\u2014you\u2019re plugging into a system that already supports the biggest companies in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Solution:<\/strong> Look for partners who vet for this. You want developers who\u2019ve actually shipped products, not just passed tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Solution:<\/strong> Work with devs who are actively investing in learning. Certifications in AWS, Azure, ML, and DevOps aren\u2019t just nice-to-haves\u2014they\u2019re must-haves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Solution:<\/strong> Hire developers who want to work US hours. It\u2019s common now, especially among senior devs with global experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n So yes, vetting matters. But once you get this right, you\u2019ve got a machine that runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n This is where it gets exciting. The real value isn\u2019t just talent. It\u2019s speed.<\/p>\r\n Imagine this:<\/p>\r\n With Indian developers (especially through the right partners), you can spin up a full remote team in two weeks or less.<\/p>\r\n That\u2019s feature delivery without bottlenecks.<\/p>\r\n That\u2019s hiring without red tape.<\/p>\r\n That\u2019s velocity when you need it most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Let\u2019s drop the outdated mental image of offshoring.<\/p>\r\n You\u2019re not hiring a vendor. You\u2019re building a remote-first engineering team with:<\/p>\r\n And if done right, they\u2019re not \u201cexternal\u201d anymore. They\u2019re just your team, working across time zones, shipping product, and solving problems with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n You\u2019re not hiring Indian developers because they\u2019re less expensive.<\/p>\r\n You\u2019re hiring them because they\u2019re exceptionally good and ready to deliver.<\/p>\r\n You need speed. You need quality. You need flexibility.<\/p>\r\n And you need it without drowning in paperwork, budget approvals, or five rounds of interviews.<\/p>\r\n If you\u2019re serious about scaling fast and staying lean, tapping into India\u2019s top 1% tech minds is the smartest move you\u2019re probably not making yet.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2.
