KHADRIA, Binod. Migración de indios altamente capacitados: estudios de casos de profesionales en tecnologías de la información. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2006, vol.3, n.7, pp.181-201. ISSN 1850-0013.

This paper describes the results of a survey on IT professionals in the city of Bangalore and their role in making the city a corridor for international mobility of Indian professionals. Highly skilled Indians were asked about their motivations for emigrating, their experiences abroad, their reasons for coming back to India and their perception of their current situation. The findings of the study show that young IT professionals want to go abroad mainly to gain professional experience, which they think will be highly valued in India when they come back. In addition, they are encouraged by higher earnings, perks and high quality of life in the host country. The fact that none of the respondent professionals gave priority to the idea of settling down abroad highlights the aspect of Bangalore becoming a "corridor" for migration (outward and inward) of Indian HRST. The IT professionals in Bangalore feel that they have growing opportunities for their career growth in India in general and Bangalore in particular.
