There is a theory that selective universities in India can churn out leaders. However, being smart is not the same as being a leader. Please note relative performance of Sundar Pichai (IIT Kharagpur) vs Satya Nadella (Manipal Institute of Technology). Satya is about my age and I don't think Manipal would have been described as top university then. It was India's equivalent of USC (of the famous University of Spoiled Children monicker).
