Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently acknowledged the significant contributions of skilled Indian professionals to the United States. During a podcast discussion with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, Musk emphasized how the U.S. has greatly benefitted from the arrival of talented individuals from India over the years.
The conversation began with Kamath observing that the U.S. has consistently attracted bright minds from around the world, which has often been described in India as a “brain drain.” He highlighted the prominent presence of Indian-origin leaders in top international companies.
In response, Musk agreed with the point and praised the impact of Indian talent on American progress. He stated, “Yes, I think America has benefitted immensely from talented Indians that have come to America.”
This discussion highlighted the role of immigrant innovation in shaping the tech industry and emphasized how global talent, especially from India, continues to influence and drive progress in the United States.
