Reverse brain drain in India has begun: Khurshid

India is in the cusp of a reverse brain drain as the country's great minds are flocking back to the resilient economy that has withstood the global meltdown, Salman Khurshid, Minister of State for Corporate and Minority Affairs has said.

"Reverse brain drain has already begun and it is a great sign of the world's confidence in India and its recognition of India's potential,"  Khurshid said who is on a four-day official visit to Dubai.

"Those who know that you cannot permanently leave India have sensibly kept your links with the country by educating your children in systems that are compatible to those of India so that they can go back to India either for higher studies or for work."

"Many second-generation Indians are coming back to the country. Top multinationals are sending their top Indian minds to head their companies in India. So when we lose some, we win many back," he added.
