Do Indians really need to go abroad for jobs? | LIVE | Faye D'Souza

[@LikeDeep-q6w]

I left India because of the toxic work culture, and rude people everywhere with no sense of acceptable social behavior. And it was my best decision till date.

[@YVONNE-f7j]

You are absolutely right. And Indians' behaviour is getting worse. I am from Goa and the situation there is horrible. Goa's environment is destroyed, dirt everywhere, no sense of civics, rude and uncouth behaviour from males, no manners, inappropriate developments, coal, drunkenness, intolerance to Goans' way of life and religion and food, folk from elsewhere in India who have moved to Goa dictating to Goans how to live and who to worship and how to dress, etc etc. No respect for another. For a country which claims to be conservative and clean, the sex trade in Goa is abhorrent and even children have to endure this degrading treatment. When you say no sense of acceptable social behaviour, you are spot on.

So damn true. We Indians have no manners and we cannot even politely respond to a stranger saying Hello, How are you? WTF!

Very sad and very disappointing.

I got my PhD in India however it was very hard to find a research based job. I did 2 jobs after my PhD, 1st for a US based organisation run by an Indian, 1st meeting happened at 10 am, second at 8 pm and 3rd at 1:30 am again, this never happened with those working in US. I had to leave the job because of the poor working hours. For the 2nd job the 1st meeting happened at sharp 9 am, and the work continued till 9:30 pm at least every day and even after Saturday being a holiday on the offer letter, almost worked every Saturday till I was there. Finally decided to resign as it was too much for me especially when having worked almost 12-14 hrs everyday for the last two years of my PhD. Now I'm in US , rarely anyone works past 6 pm here besides the work environment is stress-free. No wonder people leave India, money is just an added benefit. Maybe if you are working for someone else India is a bad option, if working for yourself India can be better because the labour is cheap 😅, and on top they now want you to work even on Sundays.

She was from a village near Ahmedabad and she said there was no prospect of a better life and she was willing to risk her life for at least that hope.

India's rapid growth is often overstated-look deeper, and migration trends tell a different story. Comparing India to developed nations is unrealistic; innovation remains minimal, and the 'jugaad' mindset persists. Can you name one globally used product made in India? Even TikTok, created by China, showcases their innovation and global reach. India lacks the environment and mindset for groundbreaking innovation, which raises concerns about its ability to compete globally. This isn't criticism but an attempt to understand why India risks falling behind.

In my opinion, leaving India is no longer solely about financial gain. Many individuals believe that their hard work will be better recognized and rewarded abroad. Additionally, a significant issue is the work culture here, which often lacks respect and motivation, making it challenging for people to thrive. For instance, during my initial days at HAL, I was literally required by a senior who was only a couple of years older than me to stand and greet him each morning. This kind of environment contributes to a broader sense of dissatisfaction among employees.

India is great for those who have money and fame. It is not that great if you live an average life and hoping to ascend the social status. An average life in developed countries is also not the greatest, there are a lot of problems there too and things can become frustrating especially healthcare which is better in India but comparatively , the quality of life is much better outside India atleast for now for the average people. Another problem is those who have money and status in India want to exploit those who don't and who are below them. When you work outside, your manager is also an employee and you speak with him/her as your colleague on a first name basis, you do not act subservient to them and call them Sir/Madam, that is a colonial mindset and very disrespectful but not in India which is a problem.

Can he give us freedom of expression so professors and students aren’t suspended cz they perform research and find out how the economy is failing? 5. Can he guarantee there is minimal wealth disparity so 50% of population still doesn’t feel poor? 6. Can he guarantee a fair system irrespective of our income? 7. Is he willing to invest more in education than in religious structures? Cz apparently there is so much space for temples but very little for schools and colleges. 8.

We left India after having our first baby, 8 years back. Let me break down the reasons: 1. In India, we faced many pollution related issues: sound pollution, air pollution and water pollution. This impacted our health and we were concerned about our kid since many of our friends kids had had health related issues mostly due to pollution. 2. Corruption: it happened multiple times that for trivial issues we had to pay additional money to get something done. 3. Safety: I was working for a corporate and the expectation is to be available at odd times. Living in India it became tough. As a woman this is a HUGE factor. 4.Taxes: after 5 years of marriage and for earning pretty well, my husband and I couldn't afford to buy a home. Note, no generational wealth (only trauma). Loans, Rate of interest, inflation, we couldn't see this happening smoothly. 5. Work life balance: in India I never had a peaceful weekend. I won't say much on this topic. This is a known fact. 6. Quality of living: roads have potholes, public transport is not efficient, judicial system is not robust and police department at times is not helpful.

I have lived in the UK for the last 3 years. The cost of living is so exorbitantly high and also the salary growth is not amazing. It also depends on at which stage of your life you are moving abroad. When you are young, if you venture out, it makes a lot of sense but when you are a bit matured and unless you get a significant growth in salary, it is not viable. Having said that, the work life balance is so wonderful abroad. Once you are out of office, you don’t really need to worry about getting a call from your boss 😅

Lots of comments saying abroad is better, cleaner, etc. Yes, but the gravy train is not going to last forever. Anti-immigration sentiment and white-nationalist political parties are rising everywhere in the West. Violence may increase against Indians in Western countries, and many may be deported. Then what? AAP and the book The Delhi Model by Jasmine Shah addresses most of the governance/infrastructure concerns Faye brings up, but nobody talks about it.

The work culture toxicity, safety and pollution are huge reasons for most of my friends to have moved abroad

Any Indian, including me will hop on any chance to leave this country and settle somewhere else.

Quality of higher education as well most importantly primary and secondary education even after so many year of independence is questionable... how we can have a good quality lifestyle, Are we providing equal opportunity of growth to all

Conclusion: Toward Human Flourishing Nations fail when they institutionalize exclusion, discrimination, and oppression. In India’s case, the interplay of caste and religious fanaticism continues to undermine progress. However, the nation has the tools-its Constitution, diverse traditions, and a rich history of reform movements-to overcome these challenges. By prioritizing human dignity, rights, and freedoms above divisive ideologies, India can chart a path toward a flourishing future. This requires the collective effort of policymakers, educators, religious leaders, and citizens to build an inclusive, equitable, and harmonious society.

India is extremely overpopulated and total gdp is low. More must go out and search for opportunities. Look how Europeans are all over America, Australia etc

[@stevenlai1199]

Huge population and young demographic is an asset and that's what is going to make Bharat the third largest economy in the world soon, vande mataram, Jai hind

[@Drganguli]

@ The education and skill level of the population is low. A one child policy will do India a lot of good. With the advent of AI and robots there will be few jobs left for humans. India can end up with huge unsatisfied youth population and the resulting deleterious consequences

[@abhinaavsaikia7833]

​@@stevenlai1199But Bharat economy is under the politician's pocket, if we stay, we only make them wealthy and we stay poor.

[@saviofrancisfernandes413]

​@@stevenlai1199Asset for making the rich richer and increasing competition for the middle class. You talk about total GDP....what about gdp per capita?

Madamji.....many of my HNI friends from Gulf countries don't want to settledown in India bcoz of taxation from the 1st financial year....that'swhy they buy residential property in Dubai and other countries to retain their NRI status and to save huge taxes on their investments in India....... Indian Government must give some tax relaxation at least for the period of 7 years for returning non residents..... It was there during Indira Ghandi's time.......😢

Faye - With due respect to you ...the inflation is around the world not just India, There are a lot of plus for working overseas and so there are a lot of negatives as well.. I have a lot of my close friends who are very successful and very Happy with thier job ....At the end of day what matters is are you Happy...not the money , not the dollar to rupee, not the 3+ crore people working overseas...all that matters is are they happy...And trust me...99% of the people I know who work are India are really Happy...that is what matters. About Inflation - Gas price in US is at its peak and so is Milk...cant blame the Dollar to Rupee over here

The Government officials who says Indians shuld not leave India looking for greener pastures, shuld 1st educate the skilled workforce n give them employment in India.

[@abrahamt.c6018]

If the govt make study about the subject thoroughly, it may help the job seekers , job generators and the govt itself. It is unknown whether govt is having category-wise unemployed population. The remarks of many below this video itself give a fair idea of the situation. Merely making statement that nobody needs to go abroad will not serve any purpose.

[@martinjoseph2677]

Work place in India is hierarchical, has no work life balance, micro manged and pay peanuts to most employees with the exception of a few highly qualified professionals. My counterparts in India doing the same job were paid around 15 to 20 percent, which makes me furious to this day. And then after a grinding days of work, nothing is available to unwind. The social hypocrisy always keeps you under check.
