They control all the tech companies and even Twitter. They have legions of tech support and if they so choose they could cripple every tech company on earth by collectively not answering the phone or picking up tickets.

They have nukes and a space program of sorts. They also have their hand on world banking through the br'ish. They hate chinks and pakis and currently run an updated air force, so yes they are a "super power", a street shitting super power.

They're also like the 5th or so country to have the most amount of billionaires.

I'd rather try fixing the problem myself instead of trying to deal with a techie who insists he's called Timothy - a name which he can't even spell, let alone pronounce correctly, will scream at me in impotent rage after I list the solutions I've already tried, and is going to get featured in the next Jim Browning or Kitboga video.

I don't think the SV tech pajeets like Satya Nadella or Parag Agrawal have much in common with pajeets on the Indian subcontinent.

India does not own all the tech companies, they only own the tech companies for shitty jobs that nobody wants to do. If they collectively stopped doing tech support, it would restore the status quo from 15 years ago where MSPs existed at that level in the USA, and IT would be more respected and not seen as, well, a shitty job for a third worlder. They haven't taken anything except for entry level jobs. None of the jobs that make more than $15K a year were ever affected. Essentially, nobody wants to make effectively minimum wage in America to tech support Karens all day.

All Indians know how to do is basically turn things off at the right time, and also be a populous race so they can collectively get their brown hands on lots of things that are irrelevant on their own, but if they were all turned off at once it gives them power. It's what I like to call the "Indian Hop". They hop back and forth between it working and not working, pressing the button in the secret backdoor they have to turn it off, to give themselves a voice and somehow slide their way into conversation with the owner, at which point they try to strongarm them into giving them money and power. Owners fall for it all the time, it's why Indians work for free for years, and why every company I've ever worked at went way way way out of their way to completely hide when something would be released - they know the little curries will catch wind of the big launch, and turn everything off as soon as it's supposed to be used. That gives them a voice and power overnight. They know the Owner will crack if he's under pressure ie they made a contract with some big client and the app or whatever is supposed to be up tomorrow and they just turned it all off.

I worked at a company where this was so bad, projects from the Indian teams always got to 95-99%, and then mysteriously they would all either disappear, or explicitly turn shit off and post an ultimatum in company chat. Again, the "Indian Hop". This got to the point where we'd have to have an entire other team of curries standing by that they never knew about, to be familiar enough with their code to jump in and complete the last 5% within a week or so and launch it. We'd literally make bets on how close or far from completion date they'd do it. We had to start making shit up and list out 3 months of more fake work, to trick them into actually completing it to 100% and thinking they were biding their time until "launch day" when they'd turn it off. The scariest part is they were actually smart enough sometimes to pick up on the extra work being fake. They know we know what they are doing, it's sick. All of these teams were completely new hires that had no possible way to communicate with each other outside of the company, so they ALL do it. Once a new team is hired they ALWAYS make an outside-company chat system on whatsapp or something from day 1 and plan the big day to turn shit off. They know they are making $3 an hour which is better than anything they could get in India, they do that for a year and from their point of view they are gambling with a month's worth of salary to crack the Owner and get tens of thousands then they could not work for 50 years.

I wouldn’t consider them a superpower until they have their own military industrial complex. Nukes don’t mean they have one, they’re heavily reliant on the US and Russia for hardware. They’ve been expanding their bluewater naval reach and are a regional power, but not a superpower.
