A lot of STEM labor doesn't need to leave India to work in the "West". The last 3 companies I worked for have been steadily building up their Indian Tech Centers.

The current shutdown will only reinforce that you don't need to be in the office to do work. If you can do the work remotely you can do it from anywhere in the world. Work from home is a two-edged sword.
