I recently visited some teams in India, they indicated quite a few coworkers moved back to India to be closer to family and friends. Not everyone is dreaming about moving to the US. And yes, I agree that I couldn’t see myself living in India, with all the pollution and overpopulation…

That has to be a small minority. As for missing family, chain migration is still a thing.

Nearly nobody is ever going back, even those who can't land a proper job just stay and drive ubers.
