India Gives Birth to Many Engineers and Computer Scientists

In 1881, in a village in southern India called Bakhshali which was still under British jurisdiction, a farmer found a manuscript. This object is not like the manuscripts that are usually found in Great Britain or mainland Europe. The find, which was later named the Bakhshali Manuscript, was a mathematics book.

Recorded in the book Geek Nation, How Indian Science is Taking Over The World written by Angela Saini, archaeologists estimate the manuscript to have existed around 700 BC. At the same time, Indians were analyzing decimals, square roots, algebra, and the number "0". However, later, the manuscript was lost from India and was eventually found in England.

Given its longstanding literacy culture, it's no wonder that today India is known as a country that produces reliable programmers for technology companies in the United States—and for Go-Jek in Indonesia. Former United States ambassador to India Richard Verma estimates that 70 percent of the 85,000 H-1B visas issued to Indian workers in 2016.

As stated in the NASCOM report proclaimed by Tech In Asia, India is ranked 3rd as the largest ecosystem for the technology world, especially startups or startups. At least, in 2015 there were 150 Venture Capitals that gave life to around 4,200 startup companies. India is also a country that is ranked 2nd as the most connected country in the world. On average, Indians spend 169 minutes per day in front of a smartphone screen.

With mobile penetration still at 23 per 100 people, India saves more than enough fuel that the technology world can use. The New York Times reported that Google wants 500 million Indians to be online by 2017. Google's head of marketing in India Sandeep Menon said, “we have always believed that what is good for the internet [Indian internet penetration] is good for Google.”

So, in fact, prospective Indian immigrants in the technology field, there is no need to worry about Trump's executive policies that discriminate against immigrants. Today's reliable programmers are needed in almost all lines of life. Non-tech companies also need this expertise to handle their services, which are increasingly dependent on the internet world.

In addition, with the difficulty of entering the United States for tech workers from India, India will find the best talents who will work for local companies there. They will certainly contribute their best ability to build the Indian technology world.

In addition, The New York Times also referred to India as “the new China for American internet-based companies.” Many US technology companies, will make their base in India. That way, highly skilled workers will stay in India, not having to go far to find work.
We'll see in the next two or three years, when in the future there will be an Indian version of Mark Zuckerberg.
