India has been a provider of brain power to the west for quite a long time. So much so that a lot of major positions in US/UK and many MNCs are held by Indians.
In fact not only Indians but Asians and Africans have been adding to the brain power in the west leading to "browning" of "white west".
Now a days, I can't help but notice two key developments. One, many professionals who went overseas (westwards) for studies/jobs and stayed back have started looking at India as a serious option. But additionally, many more westerners are looking at India as a destination for employment.
"White" CEOs in India were common in the past amongst MNCs who wanted to have control from the people who were "close" to HQ country. Things have moved and now one can see many "white" CEOs for Indian companies.
Not only that, there are a large number of professionals in C suite and lower positions who want to have India on their CVs. Malls in major cities are seen with a large number of "westerners".
These professionals will compete with Indians on Indian terrain. They bring with them a different learning, work culture and India is surely going to see a sea change in the professional work culture.
So it is "creaming" of India.
