You do need a visa to visit India and likewise, the Indians wanting to work in the EU need visa too.

I don't think there is any talk of visa-free travel for Indian tech workers to the EU.

EU also has a trade deal (agreement) with India that comprises BOTH goods and services (the human export thingy).

Going by your logic, EU will have to build their own Coca Cola, Pepsi, Facebook, Google, and what not.

And China or India is not going to buy any of your products. Is this how you want it to be?

Globalization predicates that capital and goods are procured from places where they are readily available. It is what the post-WWII world was built on. Global trade may break apart to some extant due to the nationalism resurge, but economies of scale is real and smart businesses will leverage that.

I've been in the IT industry for close to 20 years now. Outsourcing as a factor is not significant in project failures.

Also, most outsourcing companies have been around for a while and are doing fairly well.

Any foreigner working in the EU also has to pay taxes, just like a citizen.

It's not conventional thinking, but this is how trade works.

Most trade treaties now consider the human element too (like in the case of EU, which allows free people movement for employment, just like free goods movement).

I look at it as a simple trade of goods. Hiring a Software Engineer from India is like an Indian buying a German car.

If Germany can export cars to India and France can export wines, then India can export their talent.

So, if you are confident of your skills and what they are worth, you should naturally go to the USA.

I'd suggest you start with identifying and quantifying the areas of improvement. Tools to analyze code quality, unit test coverage and defect leakage could give a sense of what the problem areas are. From there, you can build a consensus on the to-be state. This apprach would shine light on the relevant problems and would reduce resistance.

So is your Android, iOS, macOS and every linux flavour out there. What's so special about Windows being insecure?
