the problem is brain drain. asia does "send their best" because the US only accepts the best from asia. having oceans between you allows you to be picky.
And that suggests that IBM is not making more money because IBM's work culture has not adapted well to changes in the global economy. It may be that they have shifted to India workers because they are no longer capable of monetizing their workers to an extent great enough to pay competitive salaries in the US, rather than some factor resulting from their reliance on India. It could also be both, creating a vicious feedback cycle.
In short, problem is that IBM is IBM, not that IBM is full of Indians.
