That said, they had all moved to the USA. In the past, top engineers would come to the USA for higher salaries, mobility, and sometimes for American citizenship and its benefits.
If companies stop hiring and supporting immigration to the USA you may find more top engineers staying in India.

Yikes. India has over a billion people, I'm sure quite a few of them write good software, I'm sure you use some of that software daily...
