Jasjit Mangat, 38, had a graduate degree in engineering from Cornell and business-consulting work under his belt when his wife Preet, 36, a cancer researcher, was offered a prestigious fellowship in India in 2003. He quit his job and went along. Though he was born and raised in New Delhi, "India was not part of my career before that," he says. He attracted several offers in Bangalore and joined Carlyle Group...
