Great developers in India make more than Great developers in Europe in my experience. (India has a lot of okay developers who don't make very much, but if you want someone great you will pay more) some of this is Europe culture makes potentially great engineers limit themselves to good - they refuse promotions to great, and they refuse to officially mentor younger engineers (they do mentor but in ways where they don't get credit for as credit would them them a promotion). As such it is difficult to have great engineers leading the project and without that leadership you can't have a project at all.
