Vinita Gupta, who is called the first woman of Indian origin to have taken her company public in the US, said India is now different than her time. At her time, returning to India was not an option, but now good engineers have plenty of opportunities in India. Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle on the issue of Indian tech leaders in Silicon Valley, Gupta said she still does not feel that coming to the US is a waste or unnecessary.
“India has become prosperous enough where good engineers, technical skills, can fetch you a good job. That was not true when I came,” Gupta said. “We couldn’t go back.”
