Stop Mourning the H-1B": Anupam Mittal Says India Is Finally Collecting Interest on Its Brain Drain From a founder's lens, this hits differently. For years, we built assuming talent would leave. The best engineers, operators, and product minds were always "one visa away." Scarcity was part of the playbook. But something has quietly flipped. Stricter Immigration, Stronger Ecosystems, Global Exposure Created a New Reality Talent that once moved to Silicon Valley now chooses Bengaluru and Mumbai. Not from compulsion. From conviction. This isn't just talent returning. It's mindset returning. People come back with scale, speed, and global thinking. They've seen how great companies are built at Google, Meta, and Amazon. They've lived inside high-performance cultures. Now they want to build that here. Do not replicate it. Build it for India's context and opportunity. For Founders, This Is a Massive Unlock We're no longer building in isolation. We're building in a globally informed ecosystem where people choose to be here because they see the upside. Returning talent isn't asking "Will this work in India?" They're asking, "How fast can we make this work?" That's a different energy. Different ambition. The Real Question Now Isn't Whether India Has World-Class Talent It's whether we're creating world-class environments for them to stay. Are we building companies with global ambition and local soul? Are we offering equity, ownership, long-term upside - not just salaries? Because if we're not, talent will come back - and leave again. Brain Drain Was Never the End. It Was the First Chapter. The second chapter: talent that was left is now an asset. They learned on someone else's dime. They're bringing it home. The third chapter? That's on us. On whether we create companies worth staying for. The talent is here. The capital is here. Now we need the conviction to match. Applications for Founders Office Fellowship are now open.
