Cisco's IT is almost 100% Indian, and by almost 100% I mean I've only seen one or two out of thousands who weren't Indian. Cisco's Indian IT department managers having exclusive preference for Indian companies. It's so against the law for Cisco to have their IT department almost fully staffed by H1B visa holders who work for some Indian outsourcer and are themselves all Indian. The work they do is only half decent (well, not really, it's purely best effort, and depends on the individual or team doing the work it can vary dramatically)

The CEOs of many of the Indian outsourcers are so incompetent and focused so exclusively on relationship based selling that it's pointless to even bring up the topic of them falling behind the tech adoption curve. It's a giant heap of incompetence and corruption.
