I didn't read the NATURE article, but I read through the blog post. Is this in reference to post docs everywhere or is this specific to India?

I don't have a Post, pre or current "doc" so I guess I'm not the target audience. But am I right in thinking that a post-doc is basically a way to get specialized training in an area, making you all the more appealing to a future employer? Or is it a road to teaching? Do most post-docs end up teaching, working in the public sector or in the private sector?
