Sri Murali has already admitted that the start up capital did not come from India Let me add. It may not have come from India directly as venture capital. But it definitely has come from sources in India in other forms as I listed in other posts. In my case, the capital has been my dad's life savings that I paid in from of Fees to the University of Dayton and for other expenses all of which was spent in US. Intellectual capital, i.e people were educated in government subsidized hi tech schools. But this is a global economy and the capital flows both ways, obviously more will flow from higher to lower concentration. So you are not exactly right in quoting me in that sense as I had clarified that issue on my previous post.

rofl. You are working yourself into a hole. US companies use indian money all the time. We hire their consultants from indian firms, a lot of top management in technology comes from Bangalore - there is just no way to draw a line in the sand and say no indian money was involved in Cerent, I2 etc. (firms started by indians) Why don't I leave? Because I'm not proposing changing the status quo. Immigration is great as far as I'm concerned. The people are a lot smarter than we are able to produce here. (US schools suck is one problem). IMO if California and the east coast (both liberal areas with a lot of immigration) were broken off into another country they would flourish and Texas and the midwest would fall apart. The only reason Texas has the tech economy it has is because Californians go there and start companies since land is cheaper.
