An hour a month? I wish I lived in that part of India. When I was there, Thursday was typically the day we lost to power cuts. 1 paise for travel? Within city travel was 50-200rs. And $200/month for a good developer? Anyone I'd consider letting near my codebase was at least a lakh a month.

(All numbers for Pune, about 1-2 years ago.)

I did a startup in India, mainly for the cheap labor. I'd happily expand and set up shop in India again, depending on the circumstances. But lets be realistic, rather than pushing hype.
