It’s Time To Bring Back Indian Talent
To address the country’s acute skill shortage, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has decided to unveil an action plan to groom second-generation overseas Indians for a reverse brain drain. A panel of global Indian leaders including PepsiCo chief Ms Indra Nooyi and Arcelor-Mittal chairman Mr LN Mittal will draw up a blueprint in his regard. The decision was taken January 8 when a delegation of industry and academic heads, including noted economist Mr Amartya Sen and the first India-born McKinsey chief Mr Rajat Gupta met Prime Minister Mr Manmohan Singh to discuss ways to attract bright talent back to the country. As per PM’s direction, Mr Sen, Mr Gupta and other members of the Global Advisory Council for Overseas Indians would meet by the end of the year to make suitable recommendations.
