Actually $15 USD per hour is not what it used to be. 4 to 5 years back $15 per hour would be big big money. Not any longer.

That's exactly what I mean - you may have missed my point. Indian rates for IT workers have risen sharply meaning that they are losing the competitive advantage they had four or five years back.

Having said that, because of the cost of living $15 USD per hour is still massive money to most Indians.
