I've noticed this as well, but see it mostly as "A players hire other A players, B players hire C players". The top tier of Indian execs/management that I've met will hire diverse teams, just like the top tier of every other ethnicity will as well. There's simply not enough people at the top to put a racial/ethnic/caste filter on it. But then once you get down to the second tier, people will happily hire people like themselves, because at that level you're hiring on vibes rather than data and similar people give you fuzzy comfortable vibes.

Unfortunately most Fortune 500 companies are in the hands of B players now, and it goes all the way up, with the government (multiple governments, really) being in the hands of B/C players. The A players are happily retired and pulling strings in the background with their 501(c)4s.

The government is in the hands of D&F players.

Only because the politics of most common idiot id the cheapest for monied interests to manufacture.

Business is much worse at the same scale.

Infact, you probably cant find any org at large scale that functions in rational, logic driven capacity.

So theres just a bogeyman, not a useful critique of government.

That’s extremely racist to assume that Indian execs are all D tier or worse.

That's clearly not an assumption that this sentence is based on: > The top tier of Indian execs/management that I've met will hire diverse teams
