There are a lot of great labor in India, but great does not come cheap. Cheaper than the bay area, or even the midwest, but still not cheap by world standards. You can pay engineers in Germany for similar or less in total compensation. (but good luck finding them)

Yeah but you have strict labour laws in Eu, which basically dont exist in india. This is wet dreams of the corporations.

For great labor it doesn't matter as great engineers know they can demand better treatment. For a average engineers you can get by with a lot more.
