What stopped them from doing exactly this 20 years ago? Turns out the differentiating factor isn't salary but talent. They pay you $$$$ because they can't find equivalent talent in India. And the talent that does exist in India isn't going to work for peanuts.

The talent abroad is also moving here for higher quality of life.

You are woefully ignorant here. There are lots of cultural challenges (ex: IME young Indians jump jobs even more frequently than young Americans), the time zone coordination, corporate organization, matching client time zone & culture, etc. Talent is not an issue.

Even blind statistics are not in your favor.

I don't think you realize LATAM such as Brazil and CR is becoming the go-to destination for outsourcing, not India. IME, it's much more stable in SA than India.

Yet both of you align to the same answer: replacing us employees with Indian remote workers is less likely for a number of reasons.

But that said, you're also both ignoring relocation of the enterprise as a whole: employ Indians in India.
