Unfortunately I think it depends on the number and position of Indian folks.

Small numbers where you deal with people individually, I've not seen issues and it's nice to work with Indian devs.

In larger numbers or when in charge of hiring, there seems to be a prevalent issue of Indian cultural norms and favors kicking in and it can happen fast.

Monocultures are almost always bad, if nothing else they are a signal that you aren't hiring on merit.

Depends on the culture, the size of the team, the product you're working on and the target demographic.
