Having interviewed 100+ candidates in past 2 years for my own startup and a similar number before in my previous job, I completely understand what the author is trying to say. Believe me when I say that 90% of my interviews simply stop at the first question (Can you write a function in C which given an integer array and its size as arguments, returns the number of zeros in an array?).

I'm in the process of converting my team of 50ish programmers in Chennai into a DevOps and "legacy apps support" org because finding people with the necessary current skills is proving too difficult.

What is wrong with that?
Have you made them sign a service contract? I bet , you did. Did you confiscate their original + official documents? You almost did that.

Why? Why?
Because you could get away with paying them 5K per month.
Why are you blaming others? Why are you blaming the cost of hiring?
If you have good work to do , you have to hire good people to do the work , and have to pay them good.

Your company wants to make profit , not create value , I wish no one stayed at your company after their contract period gets over.
Storm is coming , Mr . Eitally.
Stop blaming , stop ranting about lack of skills in someone else ,Speak the truth - You are finding it hard to find bodies to whore them.
That is truth.
I hate you and your company.
