My only pleasant experience outsourcing to India was a native Android app. I think it helped that the two (young) devs had grown up with smartphones.

The problem with india is that they have thousands of bootcamp/degree mills churning out 'software engineers', that they then try to sell as experienced seniors.

Then any given project is almost by necessity actually more than one 'programmer 'pretending to be that senior, and they are all often working multiple projects at the same time. It's a surprise that anything works at all.
