Struggling to hire in India - is the situation this bad

Update: I have posted the job link in comments. It says no longer accepting applications but I am getting my HR to fix it. For those who may be assuming Pay is the problem, it's not and won't be for the right candidate. Please check the job post later today, tomorrow or Monday.

It's been a few months I am trying to hire a remote position in India for a Global Brand. The position is remote and pays well. One would think that given how bad the market is, I would have no problem. But seriously I am struggling. I have interviewed close to 25+ people, and I am surprised by the lack of maturity, communication skills and more important technical skills. Has anyone encountered this issue? I am at my wits end and can't figure out what's going on. Even if I clear them in the first round my Sr. developers reject them due to lack of good problem solving/solutioning skills or being able to explain their past projects. The situation can't be this dire, right?
