I posted this in reply to the comment under question, but it should probably be mentioned here as well:

Here is the best source I can find: http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/36/04717208/0471720836.pdf This appears to be the first chapter of iCon by Jeffrey Young and William Simon.

The story of Jobs in India starts on page 23.

From page 25: “We weren’t going to find a place where we could go for a month to be enlightened. It was one of the first times that I started to realize that maybe Thomas Edison did a lot more to improve the world than Karl Marx and Neem Kairolie Baba put together.”

These conclusions seem a little more defensible than those of the anecdote under question.
