The west invested trillions of dollars over the past 4 decades in China not to mention Taiwan, south korea, Japan sending engineers to train Chinese counterparts on process knowledge with Europe selling their most advanced machining equipment etc. expecting india to start replacing China in 1 yr is ridiculous. If the west needs India to be an alternative sourcing partner then it better have the same appetite to invest in tech infra in India. Indians are no better or worse than any other culture in making stuff. We make great software because it takes very little infrastructure to get started and no airports / seaports / road infrastructure is needed to export it.
