Texans heed call: 'Go east' to India

Interesting news article on Dallas Morning News.
For years, highly skilled graduates of India's universities have taken jobs in Texas, helping fuel the state's high-tech boom. Now, young Texans are discovering India as a land of employment opportunity. Infosys has grown from 500 to 50,000 workers in 12 years. Chief financial officer Mohandas Pai said he sees a trend of young Americans taking jobs in India.

Americans used to say, "Go west, young man," said Mr. Pai. "Now, it's 'Go east.' With the rise of India and China as economic powers, we're seeing life-changing opportunities here."
