Push factors for brain drain
Lack of higher education opportunities

Lack of financial research support
India’s Gross domestic expenditure on research has stayed at 0.7% of the GDP for years. India has one of the lowest GERD/GDP ratios among the BRICS nations. So, the minds in R&D tend to migrate to other countries to continue their research.
Lower-income
Developed countries offer better pay to sectors like health, research, IT, etc. Income is one of the main triggers of emigration from India.
Non-recognition of talents
The chances of being recognized in one’s field are difficult in a populace this large and with conventions preferring the glamour world over academic talent; bright minds choose foreign countries where their work is appreciated more.
