The emigration of Indians to foreign countries especially U.S. was made possible because of the availability of talented and brainy students and professionals in India and the favourable immigration laws. The networking structure part of the silicon valley provided the Indians with ample opportunities for wealth creation and to start new enterprises. It took some time for Indians to seize the opportunity. The hindrances encountered by the technocrats mainly emerged from the bureaucracy and the protectionism of the Indian market.
