It is a logical move by Citigroup. It is said that Citi group is the largest bank/ fin. Institution in India.
Recently a cousin of mine who is studying 3 rd. year in a self financing collge got placed in Infosys. B'lore for 22K a month. Therefore as jobs are cut in the USA/Americas/EU, more and more people in India will get employment, even if they are not qualified.

Sidenote : I am not sure as to how long this boom will last in India.

2000 was the average salary in India in 1991 for a Diploma-fresh candidate.
4000 - 5000 for a BE-fresh graduate.
25,000 in MEast.
But u got 25,000 in India, right after engg.diploma?
