Dear Dr.You have done the most brilliant thing to go back to India,where you can fulfill your dreams and your family togetherness.You will be a happy person in your life.I am 73 years old and live in USA and can say that the most important thing in life is your happiness and not money.God bless you.
I am 65 and have lived in canada for the last 43 years continuously. I am at a stage now regretting my decision. I am neither a fit in the west and am worried will not be fir in India. My children ( 30 and 34) are also struggling emotionally. we are all well settled financially but life has no meaning.
This is a good thing what you did, Vizuara. You are going to help build India. Wish more Indians will do what you did. Never been to India but son of Indentured Servants but love India and I am proud of you and what you did.
Its very difficult to sustain there .. forget tenure track positn .. A phd (& w post doc/s ofc) w/o publications doesnt really stand a chance in the cut throat academia .. But 1 can choose the industry , if thats satisfactory
@@kamalatemplin7975 There is no other country like USA for talented people. Its the only place where you can restart your career or do anyting and it will be accepted
I had similar path 20yrs back. Very happy to stay back in US in my prime . I have worked both in India and US. I hate the toxic culture in India .I came from Lower middle class , having a complete meal was luxury for me and my family back then . Got into top most engg college in India in merit . Money was my priority back then. Took care of my parents and my family and enough to retire by 50 . I miss my friends and family in India . I will be retiring in 5 yrs and I plan to settle in India and visit US as I have friends and family here too. It’s individual preference and your decision is based on your priority in life . There is not a right or wrong decision I believe . Do I regret staying back in US - Not at all . I am sure you made the right decision for your situation .Good luck
It's important to always have a backup plan, and that plan should be centered around India. In America, you are an individual, but in India, you have the potential to build something much larger. This needs to be planned well in advance if you intend to return to India. Otherwise, you might end up retiring at 55, with all your valuable experiences going to waste. Plan wisely, and you will likely find greater success in India than in America.
Splendid! Further, want to compliment you on being more than your just a job,in the same manner I modestly tried , when returning back from Boston for almost continuous 25years service stint at both government & private medical institutions within India , starting in 1969 till retirement . Alluding to the tidily arranged pot plant collection displayed behind you! Wishing you best of success in your long term endeavors.
Came across this video at the right time, as my husband and I have just made the decision to come back to India after 10 years and 12 years respectively in various countries (USA, Netherlands, NZ and France). We couldn't be more excited knowing we are coming back for the same reasons you mentioned of wanting to build something and have a more wholesome life rather than running after silly visas and what not and still feeling like any of these places would never be home. Knowing such smart minds as yourselves have made this decision makes us super confident in our own decision, so thank you for sharing :)
Brilliant. Your humble attitude gives a great message and also that we should be where we feel we belong. Make yourself & our country proud of your transition.
You are 100 per cent. Spot on. India wants its people back. If you want to set up a business you must go home. I hope some rich Indians will set up an opportunity for you returning Indians.
Thanks for the video :)) Good that you didn't let other's unsolicited advice get to you, you took a stand for your self respect by not getting in that rat race and I respect you for it.
You are a great person, visionary, optimistic, nationalistic and family oriented. Wish you all the best. Some of the things that will bother you though are pollution level in India, overcrowding , children’s educational difficulties due to excessive competition, poor health facilities and corruption .
Kudos to you….right decision….am a Senior Citizen spending time with my grandchildren in USA …have been advising my son and daughter to come back to our country which is lot better on all parameters…
Each and every point is valid and you made the best decision because by the time you completed your PhD you literally took the most educated n rational decision well done 👍
Your mindset is completely matching my mindset. I agree with your points. I spent 6 years in USA, did my MBA there and then I am back in India. I doing well better than in USA.
I salute your super decision of being here in our country and contribute towards its growth. I wish many young people feel motivated and follow your foottsteps for their own betterment and that of our country
Anyway, who wants to spend the majority of their life preparing for the dooming visa processes in USA. Even if we got a green card, we will never be treated as equals there.
Agree. In india you will never be equal. If you don't have money you are not getting anything there. The divide between lower middle class, middle class and upper class is massive. People suffer better to pack up. Leave return to India for IIt and MIT.
You'll only be treated as a stupid F if you use words like "Equality, Diversity, inclusion, Trigger, Gender stuff, etc". Every else respects you for your achievements which are mostly Materialistic in nature. No one gives a F about your "Equality" here. Get Real
Exactly. Post 2009-10 the US immigration process doesn’t favour staying in the US. Being always stressed about your visa status is not worth the benefits. Why would a PhD from MIT subject himself to the Visa lottery.
Congatulations for choosing India as your place to settledown and work, perhaps start a business of your own. I know many Indians who have gone to the USA for higher studies who, after finishing the studies and getting a job always dream about returning to India some day, perhaps in a few years, to settle down, but never take any action to realize their dream. (And talk about it endlessly, too.)You have taken the bold step. I had that dream too, but I am still here, in the USA. I am now nearly 81 years old, and finally have stopped dreaming about returning to India. Wishing you the best, and success in your endeavers. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
My best wishes to your journey, I am a regular learner from Vizuara Channel. Remember this Theodore Roosevelt's quote from his "Man in the Arena" speech: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither.
Hats off to you Sridhar! Taking a risk is part of life. Love the fact that you stated family as one of the reasons for returning to India. Good luck to you in your endeavors. Best wishes.
I am a resident of NA. congratulations to you for your brave decision to return to home country where you are from. For some of us it is too late. All the very best .
From what I can understand..you came back because you were not happy living an independent life minus the comforts of the domestic help that is available in India😊😊😊 everything else is a matter of resilience..hats off to people who stay and make it work👍🙏👍
Great . The right thing you did. If I had the wisdom that you have when I was at your age I would have done the same thing. Now it is too late for me. I have many bundles to carry now. Your decision is the most appropriate.
You're courageous and good wishes to you. I am living in US during the past 4 years... There are serious issues living in USA. This is applicable for those who moved here during the past 5-6 years. VISA issues, Healthcare costs, High inflation during the past 3 years, High cost of college education, Lack of jobs in IT for those from tier-2 universities in US specially Indian kids (Ivy league and another 10 universities are the first tier), Lack of good family holiday attractions (in total there are just 5-6 like Grand canyon and Niagara falls), High costs of house maintenance (constant repairs), Many practical problems that you will come to know only after you move here. In India one can tour to old attractions like Hampi, Ellora, and another 100 such places or the new attractions like Ayodhya, Kevadia, etc.
The historic monuments in the USA are from late 1800s. Where as India touts 4-5000 years of evident history. What must change is caste, color , religion-based bias, which the root of rampant corruption in India. We can’t give up. Entrepreneurs like him will be the single bricks of change.
Very good decision you have taken to come back to India and those who have come back to India they get good job and and more freedom here and you can enjoy life with your relatives and friends
In many cases PhD’s can find good opportunities in India in universities or start their companies. But problems of pollution, traffic, and education of children later in life will come to you.
Strange, if an apartment rent was $3500 in USA, typically 2 to 3 students share a 3 BHK, wonder you had to live alone. However, it's your decision. Opportunities are better in USA definitely, and work culture is a lot better!! I am here in USA for past 23 years and I can vouch for that!!
You are an iconic figure to have taken bold decision because you have an entrepreneurial mind and India needs more people like you who can contribute in setting up US like infrastructure and growth in India so as to reduce our dependency on US and western countries.
Forget about the MIT, IIT, PhD identities, the point is even from a mediocre technical college, you can still become successful. You need to be a motivator, an achiever with an innovating mind. If living in USA is a misery, you did a good thing by returning home. Would be good to hear an update video from you in 5 years time.
You will get all happiness in your life for setting right priority in life at right time. You are an inspiration for many Indians who are suffering immensly in USA for visa and then meaningful life at later stage.
My children also returned their Green card after 6 years in the US.They are happy here same company Google. India is more technologically better than anywhere in the World.
Main Issues in india are: pollution, traffic, poor infrastructure, corruption and congestion making it difficult for people to return. Do not underestimate how important clean water, air and beautiful landscapes are to people.
Times have changed. There are tremendous growth opportunities now in India and because of market scalability and appetite on par with US consumer market, this is probably the way to go.
You are true son of India Absolutely bold step, we will get the best of both worlds. The US is good moneywise, but we will lose our heritage and culture. I have seen it all in usa.
Welcome home!!! Our infrastructure certainly needs honing and toning, but that can happen when you people collaborate with those here and create a whole new scenario. Your decision worth the price you have paid. 13:1713:20 You have said it. That's the spirit. This is from somebody who also returned, suffered the decline , etc.etc., but eventually found our space.
Please don't be hesitant to say that you did the right thing! Ofcourse you will be a second class citizen there even after a few generations. Sitting on huge stacks of money cannot be the goal of life anyway. Hope your video brings more people back not necessarily for a start up but just to be with your own people.
Excellent! Congrats on your decision and for the share. I had a 20 year dream to work in the USA from my childhood days. I left India to work and from that country I finally got an opportunity to the best job I could hope for in my expertise. When I went there to work with an H1 visa where I previously have been travelling enjoying the experience. It didn't take me 2 years to realise USA was not the place so before my company could further compel me to get the green card I rushed back. Exactly! I am with the ladies who find it difficult to return to India because of the patriarchy that is still rooted in the culture and safety issues so as for me I was happy to return to the closest place to India where I worked before going to the USA Dubai as it is safe and one can to be in touch with all of India s development and still get to be the same person as we would like to be.
The US has tremendous contempt for expertise and always has. Most talented Americans don't go into technical fields, but are more likely to go into banking. I run a tech startup, and most of our employees are Asian because there are no Americans in the job pool. We are very happy to have our employees, but it underscores the contempt Americans have for science and tech.
God bless you with success...your goal and zeal to increase India's GDP by creating 50,000 is something that is so inspiring.Hope you inspire many more talented Indians !!! So proud of you!!!All the best!
India scores above US on 1) Cost of living 2) Healthcare availability 3) Services and Support systems - house helps 4) Life after 50 is definitely better in India from Cost and Family point of view. 5) Availability of qualified manpower for business You can get more creature comforts in India for much less. For that one has to live a bit away from the crowded city centres and closer to your work locations ( which these days are located away from city centres) . Child education is much more affordable. Healthcare is easily available at much more affordable cost. The only attraction is US companies if you are into a job. If you want to do business it is better to be based in India
Couple of things - I am working in Northamerica for 35 years I agree with most of items execept forllowing 1. To Startup in US is much more difficult in US and especially for Indians - with our brown skins - we are not successful in selling which is needed for startup Therefore most of startups Indians pair with americans. You might end up giving up huge part to your american partners. 2. For Indian Females - I think it is better to be in India as there are servants in India compared to house work. My wife always complains about it. 3. Working in India versus US - There are better job growth opportunities in India than US market as US market is mature. Also don't minimize the stress of getting Green Card and losing of job - job security in US.
Why are Indian females burdened with the load of housework ? Is that what your wife complains about ? Do you earn in dollars and not spend on weekly home cleaning services ?
Firstly appreciate your thought process and the decision. I am sure you will do well. USA the place it used to be is not the same now. The political land scape is a big question mark not that India is better. Certainly India can offer a better opportunity. India needs to pull up its infrastructure and political behaviour. Home is always sweet and warm no doubt.
Kudos to you welcome to India we need people like you with vision. I see that your current product is in the education sector which seems to be very good, but I feel that you should also leverage on your expertise in your research topic i.e. solar cells and also the network you have created during your PhD. I think your journey and expertise acquired are elsewhere and hope you can bring that to India. All the very best to you.
Dear Sreedath, I am writing this after watching entire video. I really respect your thoughts and What motivated you to stay firm on your decision and come back to India to contribute and make it better. Nice to see people like you ( with such caliber ) dedicating life for India and Indians. NOT Like OLA's Bhavish, who is arrogant & bullshit Indians naming his batteries "BHARAT" not providing proper support on his sales.
What a demeaning statement which is full of contempt for people who graduated from low level colleges but working for India, just to praise IITians like feudalist 😡
Well done! You also have far less chance of being shot dead in the US. Make the best use of your talent in India and benefit your own people. I have a good friend from Kerala who graduated from Stanford who went back and founded a company in India. Meanwhile, Chinese scientists are increasingly going home. Take your skills and grow the motherland.
You said it. In India sigle unmarried is a nightmare I moved to the US in my end of my teenage. It was hell in India those days.In the US is like heaven so much peace, freedom and respect. I' m living in the US more then India. One thing Indians should change they attitude...Now a days Indians coming to the US different greed. That is for sure the US is not same like 20 year back. Good Luck guys...
Salute boss! Thank you for putting forward an honest opinion. Like you mentioned many upper middle class and middle class people in India don't see a drastic change in lifestyle. It was completely the case in our parents generation. But now things are changing. This video will have a lasting impression on many in India to take a decision whether to move to the usa or not. Thank youa again!
Thanks for uploading!! Yes! Once you have family and children enrolled into education, it becomes very difficult to reverse migrate! As per some highly respected social thinkers, by 2040, the best of the brains in the world will be working in India to service India and the world to shape life for humanity into modern times!!!
You made the right decision. First the education in USA, UK, Canada, Germany etc is overated. They do not value Indian students and they will give you a hard time, least desirable projects, almost useless supervisors not keen to show you any thing valuable. Most Indians are misled into believing the education abroad is better. It is actually backwards. Then there is lot of racism and politics in universities and at work if you can find a decent job which is unlikely for 10 years. So most Indians end up as cheap labour for MacDonalds flipping hamburgers, 7 eleven stores sales clerk. India sends 59 billion dollars per year to US as tuition fees and similarly to other western countries for useless education. Better to build good campuses in India for 59 billion dollars and hire experienced professionals from abroad to come and teach in India. There will be lot of savings for India and better development of country. Modi needs to do this. Parents take note and do not lose your money and children to US education hyped craze.
Dear Dr.You have done the most brilliant thing to go back to India,where you can fulfill your dreams and your family togetherness.You will be a happy person in your life.I am 73 years old and live in USA and can say that the most important thing in life is your happiness and not money.God bless you.
I am 65 and have lived in canada for the last 43 years continuously. I am at a stage now regretting my decision. I am neither a fit in the west and am worried will not be fir in India. My children ( 30 and 34) are also struggling emotionally. we are all well settled financially but life has no meaning.
You all can still come back at any age ... atleast give it a try for a few months..
Your comments validate what i always felt about those going abroad seeking material success.
अपना देश जैसा और कहीं नही 🇮🇳
This is a good thing what you did, Vizuara. You are going to help build India. Wish more Indians will do what you did. Never been to India but son of Indentured Servants but love India and I am proud of you and what you did.
Salute bro... India needs minds like you and your friend for it's promising growth...
unfortunately majority of Indians are SLAVS of USA
Its very difficult to sustain there .. forget tenure track positn .. A phd (& w post doc/s ofc) w/o publications doesnt really stand a chance in the cut throat academia ..
But 1 can choose the industry , if thats satisfactory
Yes that's a very brave decision, knowing well that in india it's much harder to establish oneself.🙏
@@kamalatemplin7975 There is no other country like USA for talented people. Its the only place where you can restart your career or do anyting and it will be accepted

"hated toxic culture in India"
I don't think India is the right place for you..
You’re right, for privileged people, India is a much better option.
Fantastic!! Bravo and God speed my dear friend! May your dreams and plans come true and I will pray that you achieve your vision many folds...

Excellent! Congrats on your decision and for the share. I had a 20 year dream to work in the USA from my childhood days. I left India to work and from that country I finally got an opportunity to the best job I could hope for in my expertise. When I went there to work with an H1 visa where I previously have been travelling enjoying the experience. It didn't take me 2 years to realise USA was not the place so before my company could further compel me to get the green card I rushed back. Exactly! I am with the ladies who find it difficult to return to India because of the patriarchy that is still rooted in the culture and safety issues so as for me I was happy to return to the closest place to India where I worked before going to the USA Dubai as it is safe and one can to be in touch with all of India s development and still get to be the same person as we would like to be.
feel proud for your thoughts an you
Thanks for coming back . Please build innovative products in India and ship around the world.
The US has tremendous contempt for expertise and always has. Most talented Americans don't go into technical fields, but are more likely to go into banking. I run a tech startup, and most of our employees are Asian because there are no Americans in the job pool. We are very happy to have our employees, but it underscores the contempt Americans have for science and tech.
God bless you with success...your goal and zeal to increase India's GDP by creating 50,000 is something that is so inspiring.Hope you inspire many more talented Indians !!! So proud of you!!!All the best!
What is your point ?? But I have a conclusion that the top Indians are better than top US guys
Appreciate your courage to come back to 🇮🇳 and make a mark where you were born, no worries you will end up doing better than in the 🇺🇸
More power to you Dr Sreedath🎉
Super proud of you guyssss❤
India is a chaotic country, but shanti hai yahaa
Bhai pure desh ko aisa kyu sochte ho...m rishikesh rehta hu yhan to ni h chaotic...bhai itna bda desh h apni soch bhi bdi kro
India scores above US on
1) Cost of living
2) Healthcare availability
3) Services and Support systems - house helps
4) Life after 50 is definitely better in India from Cost and Family point of view.
5) Availability of qualified manpower for business
You can get more creature comforts in India for much less. For that one has to live a bit away from the crowded city centres and closer to your work locations ( which these days are located away from city centres) . Child education is much more affordable. Healthcare is easily available at much more affordable cost.
The only attraction is US companies if you are into a job. If you want to do business it is better to be based in India
Couple of things - I am working in Northamerica for 35 years I agree with most of items execept forllowing
1. To Startup in US is much more difficult in US and especially for Indians - with our brown skins - we are not successful in selling which is needed for startup Therefore most of startups Indians pair with americans. You might end up giving up huge part to your american partners.
2. For Indian Females - I think it is better to be in India as there are servants in India compared to house work. My wife always complains about it.
3. Working in India versus US - There are better job growth opportunities in India than US market as US market is mature. Also don't minimize the stress of getting Green Card and losing of job - job security in US.
Why are Indian females burdened with the load of housework ? Is that what your wife complains about ? Do you earn in dollars and not spend on weekly home cleaning services ?
mindset, thats why MIT is MIT. thanks for sharing this video brother.
Firstly appreciate your thought process and the decision. I am sure you will do well.
USA the place it used to be is not the same now.
The political land scape is a big question mark not that India is better. Certainly India can offer a better opportunity.
India needs to pull up its infrastructure and political behaviour.
Home is always sweet and warm no doubt.
I hope more brilliant minds like you come back to India to help transform it into a great nation once again-our true Bharatvarsha. 🥰🙏 Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳
indian sub continent belons to black skinned dravidians and not you white skinned aryans
Kudos to you welcome to India we need people like you with vision. I see that your current product is in the education sector which seems to be very good, but I feel that you should also leverage on your expertise in your research topic i.e. solar cells and also the network you have created during your PhD. I think your journey and expertise acquired are elsewhere and hope you can bring that to India. All the very best to you.
Just watching at the end of 2024 and want to say just one thing, so proud of u brother. I hope many NRIs will do the same.
Time will tell how much you respect this decision. Congratulations though!
You did a superb thing. Only people who make decisions like you, can grow India to be prosperous and magical. The USA is a cesspool of greed.
Wishing you all the best 👍
Such a great man. I wish I had the guts when I came abroad 32 years ago. I am a physician. Well done sir. My hat off to u. Bless you.
Dear Sreedath, I am writing this after watching entire video. I really respect your thoughts and What motivated you to stay firm on your decision and come back to India to contribute and make it better.
Nice to see people like you ( with such caliber ) dedicating life for India and Indians. NOT Like OLA's Bhavish, who is arrogant & bullshit Indians naming his batteries "BHARAT" not providing proper support on his sales.
Truly admiring
Nation needs people like you. You are the real son of the soil. We are proud of people like you. Thank you for coming back ❤
What a demeaning statement which is full of contempt for people who graduated from low level colleges but working for India, just to praise IITians like feudalist 😡
Well done! You also have far less chance of being shot dead in the US. Make the best use of your talent in India and benefit your own people. I have a good friend from Kerala who graduated from Stanford who went back and founded a company in India. Meanwhile, Chinese scientists are increasingly going home. Take your skills and grow the motherland.
You said it. In India sigle unmarried is a nightmare I moved to the US in my end of my teenage. It was hell in India those days.In the US is like heaven so much peace, freedom and respect. I' m living in the US more then India. One thing Indians should change they attitude...Now a days Indians coming to the US different greed. That is for sure the US is not same like 20 year back. Good Luck guys...
You are a brave and courageous man buddy. Good on you. Best wishes. 👍👍👍
Salute boss! Thank you for putting forward an honest opinion. Like you mentioned many upper middle class and middle class people in India don't see a drastic change in lifestyle. It was completely the case in our parents generation. But now things are changing. This video will have a lasting impression on many in India to take a decision whether to move to the usa or not. Thank youa again!
My son also returned to India immediately after his Phd @, Bio medical engineering. Specialisation being ultra sound
Aapko pranam aapke bete to respect bolna meri tarf s🙏
Just wanted to say all the best and i really pray your version of the future is the one we get to live in :)
Very good decision.God bless you .Bharat Mata kee Jai.
India needs you.Hats up to your decision
God bless you abundantly in all your endeavours. Please do something for the rural and downtrodden children. ❤
Thanks for uploading!!
Yes! Once you have family and children enrolled into education, it becomes very difficult to reverse migrate!
As per some highly respected social thinkers, by 2040, the best of the brains in the world will be working in India to service India and the world to shape life for humanity into modern times!!!
You made the right decision. First the education in USA, UK, Canada, Germany etc is overated. They do not value Indian students and they will give you a hard time, least desirable projects, almost useless supervisors not keen to show you any thing valuable. Most Indians are misled into believing the education abroad is better. It is actually backwards. Then there is lot of racism and politics in universities and at work if you can find a decent job which is unlikely for 10 years. So most Indians end up as cheap labour for MacDonalds flipping hamburgers, 7 eleven stores sales clerk. India sends 59 billion dollars per year to US as tuition fees and similarly to other western countries for useless education. Better to build good campuses in India for 59 billion dollars and hire experienced professionals from abroad to come and teach in India. There will be lot of savings for India and better development of country. Modi needs to do this. Parents take note and do not lose your money and children to US education hyped craze.
Thank you so much from Indians ..good foresight and meaningful ambition
