Our immigration policies do suck, but doing it from India isn't a bad idea at all. Low living costs + same amount of money = longer runway, employees are cheaper, he gets all the purported benefits of outsourcing.
Plus, stevesmith has plenty of local knowledge (being Indian), so he can avoid most of the pitfalls of outsourcing.
Seriously, give it some thought. Once you get rich, immigration to the US should be no problem.

I agree there is an advantage in moving back to India. However these things are never easy (wife, house, assets, etc).
