There are a lot of challenges to building a sfba-style startup in India though, more than it makes sense to go into in a comment. That said, there are plenty of very talented, veyr driven engineers there that understand the startup lifestyle - checkout http://resume.akash.im/ for one, I've really enjoyed all the work I've done with him (that's included training over emacs/skype, learning rails, cutting up psd's, to working on applications for me).
