Engineers in Silicon Valley, surgeons in London, advertising in Dubai... The reputation of the graduates and Indian professionals is more to the world. Themselves do not pray to export their talent abroad: wages are higher than in their native India and the advantage of international experience is not to be overlooked in the prospect of a possible return. In the meantime, the big losers of this success are Indian companies, trying to stop the leak of the brain by following the course charted by the leader of Infosys, NR Narayana Murthy. It was the first to import US corporate culture unique in India, developing local (campus and infrastructure) last Cree for its staff. Bangalore to Hyderabad, Bombay and Pune, it is not uncommon to find many services (tennis courts, golf courses, swimming pools, gym clubs, bus private staff) offices new and ultramodern business to success.

Application of flexibility

The trend gained momentum, as Indian firms, working more and more with foreign partners, are now more conscious comfort, integration, but also of the application of flexibility of their staff. Thus, for Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, CEO of Biocon, the material comfort is not enough. In 1978, she launches the firm of biopharmaceutical Biocon (number one on the Indian market) and became one of the first female CEO in India. "And adapted to a policy oriented human resources to the" I did not want that a woman can do it career because of his family. Thus, there is a system of leave maternity over several weeks, crèches and the choice of flexible working hours. Employees working late at night or in business trip are also accompanied by male colleagues for safety. "A greatly appreciated family policy.

"The company organizes events or evenings where frames are found." "HR developed an atmosphere"frames friendly"very informal", tells Sarath Raj, webmanager a year and a half in Biocon. New (often recruited while still at University) following training internally and discover the culture House before joining offices, where they program a few months a smiling badge: "Hi, I'm new!

Other companies try to reconcile the cultures of American and Indian companies. With a double-edged effect. Navneet, financial analyst, joined in 2006 the Indian subsidiary of one of the largest US banks in Bombay: "the company requires less discipline employees on the clothing or schedules and is very responsive to staff." It also retains the "office boys culture", which is very practical and not found elsewhere. "This habit inherited from the British Empire is to employ many porters for all menial tasks (coffees, teas, photocopies...). On the other hand, weekends and evenings spent in the Office are commonplace. "Here, the framework is entirely the business", provides Navneet. Six day week is. "The management tries to associate the framework to the firm's personal life, sometimes a little too much," Anchal analysis, accounting manager in the same bank. Thus, the Bank said ready to finance up to 40 of the marriages of couples trained within the company. "The gesture is important because, in India, the marriage is very expensive." "But it is especially a good way to retain two employees," said Navneet.

Excellent training

Preferred, therefore, the Indian framework Yes, but primarily highly qualified. Therefore very requested. High value-added businesses recruit that incumbent officials at least an MBA or a master's degree. About 2,000 employees, Biocon has for example 10 of Ph. (D) and 30 of post-docs. This fort potential helped the high-tech industries to develop. Thus the new technologies sector has, alone, created 1 million jobs since 1999. Reverse of the Medal, the excellent education of Indian youth especially interested foreign firms. But, for some, Indian managers would soon have other reasons to stay. "Why go now". In the new expansion in India areas, as the pharmacy, telecoms, aeronautics, foreign companies rush on us."And it is not ready to stop," says CSN Murthy, CEO of Aurigene, pharmacy research society. The company, subsidiary of Dr. Reddy's, large pharmaceutical firm, offers its 160 employees health insurance and of stock options. "We are still going to double our workforce in 2007, but the competition is tough." This amply justifies the benefits that their offer. A we, entrepreneurs, creating change"recognizes the CEO of Aurigene. And to reverse the trend.
