It has often been argued that corporations such as ours, which help students to get admission, financial aid and visas to other countries, contribute to the serious brain drain situation in India. It is argued that the top talent is lost to other more developed countries such as the United States of America.

My justification for carrying on a business which offends my critics is not as simple as that of a slaughter house which needs to justify its gruesome business as one where the abattoir is working solely to feed his family. I, in fact contend that money is the last reason on my priority list for venturing into a business which according to some help towards a so called "Brain drain." I believe that since I am educated I can be easily gainfully employed without resorting to a socially harmful profession.

Bear with me for a moment, for I feel that this "brain drain" actually contributes to India’s success. Out of every 100 people who venture abroad, a greater percentage become more qualified and more successful than out of a 100 students who stayed back and have studied in India. Don't misunderstand me. I am blaming not the student but the system. There are no bad students but only bad teaching standards.

Furthermore, these students who eventually become responsible citizens in other create pro-India lobbies and ensure that we receive strong International representation. They act as ambassadors for our country and ensure that we are acknowledged culturally and financially.

On a financial note, you will also find that the US inculcates within its students a sense of philanthropy. These success stories donate large amounts of money to India and towards development of a greater India. On the other hand in India, we are taught to evade taxes

I am an Indian and at times I am very proud of my motherland. There are however, times when I am ashamed to see some of the things that I see here. More so because I haven't been able to make a large enough difference as yet.

Therefore, the "Brain Drain" is a concept that I can not prescribe to at this point in time. I sincerely do hope that one day I can embrace it. But for that, my country has to make the difference.
