Hiring foreign programmers will instantly turn your great idea into fail. Copycats will make it even worse - and help destroy your (not yet existant) rep with their sub-par versions of your sub-par foreign-coded app.

Learn to do it yourself, or hire local people to help you develop it. If you can't do it yourself you need a team. A LOCAL team. The minute you contact somebody via email or over the phone, your "idea" is marginalized, stolen, and destroyed. If you have a "great" idea, nobody in India is going to bring it to life.
