Lots of Indians in tech work their way into management and then try to bring home the bacon back to India. They continue identifying as Indian nationals even after going through grad school, green card, etc. You may not have noticed but there was/is a large wave of placing Indians in executive positions at tech companies, so I don't see why this is so mysterious. Did people think they were going to open offices in Omaha?

Also identifying with India and actually going back and living in India are two vastly different things. Most of them will talk and plan but never leave for India as facilities, money and comfort of the first world will be just too much leave. Of course some of them may go for CEO/very senior position to establish office in India and then come back after some time.

If they are trying to use their position in America to send jobs and offices back to India then that's their power that corporations have given them. But, they should lose their green card and/or visa as a result because their loyalties are obviously not to the US. They just want a green card to exploit American businesses, not to become a citizen.
