Are you saying it is not significantly less expensive to live around
Bangalore than say Los Angeles or San Jose?

However, I read about a company that helps companies "outsource" to
rural offices in the southern US. Their selling point is not that their
costs are as low as  3rd-world countries, but that you get citizens who
who know US culture and less "accent" for less than big cities. Thus,
they are in-between cost-wise.

Even if Bangalore grew more expensive, say the New Tokyo, there are
still cheaper cities in India.
