There have been Bain people on the ground in India for over a year; it's just a matter of when the office becomes official.
Bain took a follow-the-leader strategy in India, China, and Eastern Europe... McK and BCG go in first, figure out the market, and lose a bunch of money in the process. Bain comes in later, hires away some key people, and quickly scales-up. Shanghai, for instance, is a brand-new office for Bain but is now almost the size of BCG's presence there, if I remember accurately the figures in August 2005's Consulting magazine.
