... so you just hire developers in the United States then? (India has a mandatory vacation policy, or so appears to say Wikipedia...)

Employment laws in India more or less apply only to either larger companies or friends of connected people.

I would have no concerns hiring someone and telling them "hey, I'm paying you well because I need you available all the time, just in case." They will almost certainly lack the ability to use the legal system to screw me over.
