Have you ever had to interact intensively with a speaker of Indian
English? One who speaks very fast, with a heavy accent, and who
throws Indian-English words like "crore" and Indian-English terms like
"cent percent" in there without thinking about it?

I am attuned to most Asian accented English, but this was 10x worse. I think
you'd want a team leader to be able to communicate clearly to the other team
members and to management, and, for this job, the reference language is
(American) English.

See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_English
