#3click-bait article really.
Its like saying Google doesn't have the programmers in US it needs.
my points:
1) Snapdeal is in Delhi- Not really a hub of software engineers. Most of them are in south of India and very few people really want to move to Delhi. Also, people from south India almost never like to move to Delhi. Even people from North like to stay in Bangalore because it offers many career opportunities.
2) Snapdeal is really no big deal in India- With flipkart,google,microsoft and a bunch of awesome new startups in south, and Snapdeal having no presence in bangalore/Chennai/hyderabad etc- Programmers have a lot of options.
3) I know very very few people who use snapdeal. with amazon,flipkart and ebay i don't see why snapdeal is relevant. Why would a good programmer move to join this company? its not one of the big ones. Its not a cool startup and equity will be low.

#4They could consider opening development center in Bangalore or Hyderabad instead of US. If there are good enough developers in India for Google and Microsoft Snapdeal should not have problem finding the right people.

Its funny you say that because everyone I meet knows flipkart but don't really use them but use snapdeal all too often.
From foreign news articles it does seem like flipkart & amazon are the big deal which is why I find it confusing why in india snapdeal is a bigger deal.

Snapdeal has better prices on a few products, but the overall experience isn't any better (wrong products being shipped, customers cheated by soaps/bricks in product cases). Flipkart/Amazon prices are a little higher but the overall experience is better. Both offer pretty good support as well.
Flipkart is technically more impressive than Snapdeal. (Flash sales/in-house hardware, etc). It has it's own brand similar to Amazon basics - DigiFlip, some of which are of decent quality - cables, chargers, etc.

I agree with you on 1 and 2 but not on 3. Snapdeal is one of the very good e commerce platform here in India. The problem is that Indian students are still not ready to join a company like snapdeal or flipkart when they have offers from FB, Google, Microsoft, Amamzon, Visa etc.
During campus placements at my college, none of the CS and Maths and Computing went to snapdeal. Instead snapdeal has to settle themselves with guys from other departments.

Has deep learning been around for 10 years ?

#9How come foreign companies seem to find the ones they need? You never hear about a lack of Indian talent. Never have experienced it. I have always been able to find knowledgeable indian programmers to work with remotely.
