Indians drool over IITs and whatnot .. but reality is those from IIT need a guidance from a white man to excel. Leave it to themselves, they are as good as LCA
IIT's and IIM's are certainly not the best - but their students are - The IIT's turn out good students because those who get in are good to begin with. On average, fewer than two out of every one hundred who appear for the entrance exam for IIT's get admission. If you were to choose the top two percent of any population, the average quality of that group will be a few sigmas higher than the population average. Harvard accepted 5.9% of applicants. Top engineering schools MIT and Stanford had acceptance rates of 8.9% and 6.63%. Admission to IITs is extremely difficult. Only the top 2% of the applicants are admitted and to get into a decent department, about half a percent is a reasonable corresponding figure.
But again ultimately it boils down to an individuals own talent - University of Mumbai has produced more billionaires than MIT, NYU and LSE for that matter -

Secondly IITians hardly opt for public sector - May it be ISRO, DRDO, BARC or other public sector research organizations - Only 2% of ISRO employees are from IIT's most of them post grads or PhD's NOT the undergrads who are considered the best - worst is the case with DRDO where there is a shortage of HR let alone hiring from top institutes -

As far as that "white man" is concerned - India is home to some 56 of the world’s 2000 largest and most powerful public companies.

And then we have stereotypes such as "Indian companies prefer hiring Indians over foreigners" or that "white man" for that matter - I wonder if it is really the case of the requirement of a white man to excel?
