They may speak it in the most basic sense of the word. My company has an office over there, just try calling and being able to hold a understandable conversation, 90% of the time it can't be done.
Yes they speak English but combined with the extremly heavy accent and the incorrect usage of words and email ends up being the best way to "talk"

Legacy of the British colonial era......I forget the exact number, but I think 400 to 500 million Indians speak enough English to be considered competent in speaking the language.....(conversely....I know a little German.....but I'm most definitely NOT German speaking.....).
