In all truthfulness India is known for its citizens to do outsource work in the IT industry. Now this may not be 'outsourcing' since google is setting up shop but it is possible they are moving in and doing R&D in India because of the cheaper labor and the willingness that they have seen and devotion.

My next statement may get people upset, so if you don't want to be upset don't read it. From a business standpoint if you can get people to work for cheaper and be just as devoted or even more so you can either outsource or give people jobs for your company by setting up shop. I see this as a business move, if the labor is cheaper and they can get more out of it then do it.

Google is a company in the United States with divisions setup worldwide either by sales offices, datacenters or developers. I am glad to see Google setting up shop in India, it will give people jobs, it will help the economy and it will help google grow.
