When it comes to R & D , most of the core development of products happen at US and only testing and UI related jobs are done at IDC. That is not R & D. This is same case happening at most of so called R & D by software product companies at India. Real R & D are done at PSU like DRDO, NAL, HAL etc., For Engineering grads, this is the best place to be I feel...

Well this might be a case because there is a lack of engineers and scientists because of disconnect between academia and industry. There is a wide gap of people with technical competence and vision to carry such R activities so mostly it is D that is done in R & D.
This is not about aptitude of people because they have delivered great results in foreign it is the lack of adequate space

Also the communication gap. Software product r&D can happen on a product where the maerket is, product developed in INDIA cannot be sold in US and vice versa. Several factors contribute to a product development. INDIA specific software can be devloped in INDIA and not in US except some segments like OS which INDIANs and most of the world have blindly adapted though using VISTA or LINUX or XP INDIANS cannot achieve efficiency or productivity which they could achieve if there was an OS which could cater to localized INDIAN environment.
