No, they don't have world class technology teams, they hire contractors to do all the tech stuff, their expertise is in management, yes that's world class.

In narrow terms this is bad for Indian entrepreneurs since it drives up engineering costs for them. It's good for Indian tech employees though since they can demand higher compensation.
In broad terms it's good for the Indian tech ecosystem (and the economy in general).
It depends - construction workers in the US especially look like shit, given the crap that they eat - fast food, sodas and then beers after the job.
Go look at construction workers elsewhere, especially Asia, they're ripped.
Because the food they eat is most likely home cooked and not the fast food garbage we get here. Even the food at kiosks is pretty good, since it's freshly cooked.
