These numbers are from NASSCOM, the Indian organization, not the US government. I was being generous and accepting their number of 175,000 indirect "supported" jobs, even though some if it is just plain silly. They are counting even things like pharma as "supported" so, if an H1B gets a headache and buys an aspirin at the local drugstore, that's one more job "supported" by Indian companies.
I mean, really!
Its not the case and you know it. This talks about the eco system needed to support the 107K direct jobs. And the figure of 1.6 is very conservative and is not NASSCOM's own figures. Its based on EPI's research. http://www.epi.org/
