“Now if you speak to anyone, meet any random Indian or Chi- nese, everybody knows somebody that has gone back home,” he said. “It’s a severe problem because we’re losing critical talent.” Wadhwa’s research focuses on the effects of globalization on engineering, and specifically on highly skilled immigrant entre- preneurs. Over the next five years, he estimates, 100,000 Indian and Chinese immigrants working in technology and engineering will return to their home countries in search of better professional opportunities. He believes tens of thousands of them will be leaving Silicon Valley. “More than half of the startups during the dot-com boom were from immigrants,” he said. “That’s a major blow to Silicon Valley’s vitality.
