I think it's hit and miss like everything else, but maybe a little more 'miss' in this case. I just spent 5 months in India working on my startup. I'm not Indian, but I absolutely loved it. New York is a bore compared to the sensory overload of most Indian cities. I hit the railroad for 2 weeks and circumnavigated the country. Used a GSM dongle to work from my train berth. There was some 3G, but mostly slow going up in the Northern states (lots of time to write code). Can't wait to go back.
