I totally relate to your challenges. But things have changed a lot of now. Developers are more exposed to product development environment and while they will still need to understand the US business culture there is a far greater willingness to learn. When I look at my friends who did their education in India but now working here in the US and compare them with their peers in India, I don't see a difference in skills, only a lack of exposure.

Just personal anecdote. The original comment is spot on because the money saved on salary is spend on time spend on communicating ideas at much granular and micro level details to get work done and everyone is looking for an opportunity for moving out of the country first.

So if a company do not offer an option for overseas job sooner or later the person will try to move to an outfit which promises them for some overseas job.

I had better success with teams from Ukraine, Poland and Europe in general compared to Indian teams and costed about the same for finished project. For detail and innovative work the EU team performed n general much better than Indian team. In Asia my Vietnamese staff got a team from Vietnam and quality was also very good, especially with Ruby on rails, C# and are more stable than the team in India. The only thing favouring India is its large population, but still quality matters over quantity and when it comes to quality USA, EU perform better as the culture of quality is ingrained. In India people have to do Jugaad from the very beginning so most find shortcuts to do things especially in code they copy/paste by googling and work based on continuous trial/error without figuring out fundamentals on how it worked (there are brilliant people from India in my team just few though and hard to find). For mobile development especially iOS and swift teams from China did better, but still for long term the quality of EU and US teams in code is better.
